—- At Fenway.
—– The Orioles are 5-0 at Fenway this year, and have won seven straight at Fenway going back to last year.
Gregor Blanco and Cameron Maybin both hit home runs today.
- Once you’ve digested that, try this on for size: they did it in the same inning.
B.J. Upton (finally) tied Anibal Sanchez in triples.
Via @chris_sherwood, the Giants scored two runs in an inning in which no ball made it to an outfielder.

Rafael Soriano had a 1-2-3 inning.

Via @austinnarber, the White Sox are the only team that is currently in first place in its division to have won a World Series in the last 21 seasons.
Rajai Davis and Brett Lawrie have the same number of home runs (@MatanAhfeld)
Soriano’s 1-2-3 inning happened with a guy on third base. Maybe that explains why he managed to get three straight outs?
