Michael Bourn is in right field and Mark Trumbo is the designated hitter.

With the Blue Jays’ loss today, the Orioles have sole possession of second place in the American League East and can move within a game if they win tonight. They also have sole possession of the first wild card.

Jonathan Schoop is batting .311 (37-for-119) in the second spot in the order.

The Orioles are 10-7 in their last 17 road games after going 24-33 in their first 57.

No matter what happens tonight, the Orioles have won their first multi-city road trip of the season.

The Orioles are batting .306 (19-for-62) with three doubles, five home runs and 30 RBIs with runners in scoring position on the current trip.

This is the first Orioles team with multiple three-homer games at Fenway Park in the same season since 2004.

Last night, J.J. Hardy hit his first go-ahead home run against the Red Sox since May 6, 2012.

The Orioles have 26 multi-homer innings this season. The Rockies (27) are the only team with more, according to Elias.

Drew Stubbs is 9-for-9 in stolen base attempts this season and has been successful in his last 13 attempts since July 17, 2015.
