The bullpen isn’t doing any better than the rotation tonight.
The Red Sox have hit six home runs, the last four off Orioles relievers.

Red Sox 10, Orioles 3.

It was the first time that the Orioles surrendered three straight home runs since May 20, 2009 at Yankee Stadium.

Update: Showalter told MASN’s Gary Thorne that he wasn’t happy with Jake Arrieta’s tempo tonight.
Showalter still has tentative plans to start Alfredo Simon on Saturday and Mitch Atkins on Sunday, but they’ll be changed if he needs to use either pitcher in relief tomorrow night.
