Rain Washes Out Red Sox 5-0 Lead
The Red Sox bats were hot Wednesday night, July 25th, as Boston raced out to a 5-0 lead over the Orioles in Baltimore before the game was postponed.
Mookie Betts hit a 3 run homer and Andrew Benintendi and JD Martinez went back-to-back, but none of that will count, as the game was called in the 2nd inning.
All the stats are gone, and the game has been rescheduled to 1:05 PM on August 11th as part of a day/night doubleheader in Baltimore. The second game will begin as scheduled at 7:05 .
The New York Yankees lost on Wednesday to Tampa Bay 3-2 and the Red Sox are now 5.5 games ahead of the Yankees in the AL East. The Yankees open a series against Kansas City on Thursday night
The Red Sox return to Fenway Park and open a 4 game series against the Minnesota Twins Thursday night. Brian Johnson is scheduled to pitch for Boston with the pregame starting at 6:25 and 1st pitch at 7:10 on AM 1370 WDEA
