Boston (107-52) handed the Orioles (46-112) their worst loss of the season in a 19-3 rout in Game 1.

In the nightcap, Red Sox starter Chris Sale went 4 2/3 innings and gave up three runs on four hits and a walk while striking out eight. He is trying to get ready for the playoffs after being placed on the disabled list twice due to shoulder inflammation issues.

The Orioles took a 2-0 lead in the first inning. Sale hit Cedric Mullins with a pitch to start the game, and Mancini tripled him in with one out.

Two batters later, Renato Nunez hit a sacrifice fly for Baltimore's second run as Sale needed 23 pitches to get through the inning.

The Red Sox got one back in the bottom of the inning thanks to Orioles shortstop Jonathan Villar's error as Yacabonis struggled through a 35-pitch frame.

Boston tied it in the fourth when Tzu-Wei Lin lined an RBI triple to right off Yacabonis with one out. The Orioles took a 3-2 lead on an Adam Jones RBI double in the fifth, but the Red Sox tied it in the bottom half on Blake Swihart's run-scoring single.
