In a resounding Memorial Day victory, the Baltimore Orioles added yet another win to their impressive record against the Boston Red Sox this season. The Orioles, fresh off a four-game sweep of the White Sox, showed no signs of slowing down as they cruised to an 11-3 triumph at Camden Yards.

The story of the game was the Orioles' relentless offense, which managed to expose a strong Boston pitching staff. Despite facing a formidable starter in Cooper Criswell, who boasted a 2.86 ERA, the Orioles were undeterred. By the end of the game, they had inflated Criswell's ERA by more than a full run.

The Orioles wasted no time in getting on the scoreboard. In the second inning, Ryan Mountcastle and Jordan Westburg both delivered base hits to break the scoreless tie. Colton Cowser, who reached base on a fielder's choice, crossed home plate to give the Orioles the lead. The momentum continued in the following inning when Jorge Mateo's speed resulted in another run. Mateo doubled high off the left field wall, and his determination allowed him to score on a shallow sacrifice fly despite the strong arm of outfielder Ceddanne Rafaela.

However, the Orioles didn't stop there. In the fourth inning, they unloaded their offensive firepower, loading the bases with no outs. Kyle Stowers came through with an opposite-field double that drove in two runs, showcasing his batting prowess. Cedric Mullins followed up with a triple, his first of the year, hitting it right into the corner of the expanded left field fence. Mateo then added a sacrifice fly to extend the Orioles' lead to 7-0.

On the pitching front, Cole Irvin stepped up in the absence of John Means and held the Red Sox scoreless for five innings, despite having to navigate through four hits and three walks. With only four hard-hit balls off Irvin, he did enough to keep the Red Sox hitters at bay. His performance added to the Orioles' success story, as their rotation continued to exceed expectations.

Facing an uphill battle, the Red Sox turned to pitcher Brad Keller, freshly released by the struggling White Sox. Keller endured a challenging four innings, with the Orioles managing to score four runs against him. Adley Rutschman, Mountcastle, and Stowers all contributed RBIs, with Stowers completing a stellar three-hit performance on the day.

The only minor setback for the Orioles came when newly arrived pitcher Thyago Vieira struggled in the eighth inning, allowing the Red Sox to score three runs. Vieira walked multiple batters, threw a wild pitch, and ultimately fell short of making a positive first impression with his new team.

Nevertheless, the Orioles' dominant offensive display and strong pitching performances from Irvin and the bullpen sealed the deal. Cionel Pérez and Dillon Tate stepped up to shut down the Red Sox in the later innings, ensuring a resounding victory for the Orioles.

With this win, the Orioles pull themselves to within 1.5 games of the Red Sox in the competitive AL East. The series will continue tomorrow night, as the Orioles aim to extend their perfect record against the Red Sox this season and extend their winning streak to six games. Grayson Rodriguez is set to take the mound for the Orioles, while Brayan Bello will pitch for Boston.

As the Orioles continue to defy expectations, their fans are surely relishing their team's success. With a potential 106-win season within reach, the Orioles look poised to make a strong statement in the AL East.
