Since 1960, the Red Sox have posted four winning streaks of at least 13 games against an opponent. But with another win over Baltimore, Boston will have its first 13-game winning streak over a foe since it won 15 straight over Seattle from May 4, 1977-June 17, 1978.
The Red Sox have won the first seven meetings with the Orioles and opened this series with a 11-1 rout, which gave them their longest run vs. Baltimore since the franchise moved from St. Louis in 1954.
Boston, which received seven strong innings from Josh Beckett, will send Curt Schilling (5-2, 3.76 ERA) to the mound. Schilling has dropped two of his last three starts following a 4-0 start.
Schilling is 2-0 against the Orioles this year and 4-4 lifetime. He beat Baltimore May 5 in Boston and gave up three hits and one run in seven strong innings here on April 8.
Since their last win vs. Boston on September 5, the Orioles have been outscored, 87-36.
Bruce Chen (0-4, 8.42) will take the mound for Baltimore and tries to end a personal six-game losing streak dating to September 11. Chen, who pitched briefly for the Red Sox in 2003, is opposing Schilling for the second time this year.
Chen fell to 3-3 lifetime against Boston on April 8, when he allowed two runs and six hits in five-plus innings.
