Peavy is 2-0 with a 2.67 ERA in five starts at Fenway Park since joining the Red Sox.

Down on the farm, Kevin Gausman tossed five scoreless innings today for Triple-A Norfolk. He allowed four hits, walked two and struck out four. He threw 74 pitches, 48 for strikes.

The Orioles clearly have him on a pitch count early in the season. Saving those bullets for the bigs, as they say.
