Boston Red Sox seek first home series win since April against Baltimore Orioles

The Boston Red Sox entered a three‑game series against the Baltimore Orioles hoping to record their first home series victory since early April. After an 8‑1 win on Wednesday that featured a three‑hit night from Ceddanne Rafaela, Willson Contreras and a three‑run homer by right‑fielder Wilyer Abreu, the Red Sox remain 10‑20 at home and aim to add another win on Thursday. Starting pitcher Brayan Bello, who has struggled in true starts, is slated to start for Boston, while the Orioles will counter with left‑hander Trevor Rogers.

Later in June, the Red Sox will face the New York Yankees in a six‑game rivalry stretch at Yankee Stadium and Fenway Park. Games are scheduled for June 5, 6 and 7 with television coverage on NESN and Fox and streaming through NESN 360 and fubo. The Yankees lead the AL East, and the series offers Boston a chance to rebound from their recent home‑field difficulties.
