Orioles and Red Sox Set for Unforgettable Clash in a Battle of Batting Titans
The Red Sox are probably closer to what I am for the season – hovering around .500. Boston is 25-26 for the season, and slightly above .500 at home this year. The stories surrounding the Red Sox are more about the drama with players than it has been about any success or lack of success on the field. At this point in the season, no one looks like a true challenger to the Yankees. The Red Sox have hit the ball rather well, and even have pitched acceptably enough, but at the moment, nothing is clicking the way it should. Today they have a guy that really needs to turn it around, Lucas Giolito. Giolito is 1-1 for the season with a 7.08 ERA and a 1.52 WHIP. This is only his fifth start of the season, but he has allowed 12 earned runs in two home starts for the year. The question is: Is this a blip on the radar of a good season, or will he struggle all year. Orioles hitters have had success against him as well, batting .254 against Giolito.ÂÂ
