BALTIMORE (AP) - Luke Scott homered and had three of Baltimore's
11 hits off Josh Beckett, and the Orioles received a fine pitching
performance from Jeremy Guthrie in a 5-4 victory over the Boston
Red Sox on Tuesday night.
Scott was mired in a 7-for-55 skid before going 3-for-3 against
Beckett, who came in 4-0 with a 2.05 ERA in four career starts at
Camden Yards. Scott's three-run homer in the third inning put
Baltimore ahead 5-3, and the advantage stood up.
Guthrie (2-3) allowed three runs, two earned, and eight hits in
six-plus innings.
Beckett (4-3) gave up five runs in 5 2-3 innings.
The Red Sox were without manager Terry Francona, who will miss
the two-game series following the death of his mother-in-law. He
was replaced by bench coach Brad Mills, now 5-4 when subbing for
Francona.
