BALTIMORE -- Its tough enough to beat the Boston Red Sox these days. Give them an extra out to work with, and the task becomes even more difficult.Boston scored five unearned runs in the sixth inning after a throwing error by first baseman Chris Davis and rolled to a 5-1 victory over the Baltimore Orioles 5-1 on Wednesday night.Andrew Benintendi hit a three-run homer for the Red Sox, who will seek to complete a four-game sweep on Thursday. Boston pulled five games ahead of second-place Toronto in the AL East and six in front of Baltimore with 10 games remaining.The Red Sox trailed 1-0 in the sixth before Davis two-out miscue turned the game around.We were given a gift, Boston manager John Farrell said, and we did take every advantage of that extra out.Clay Buchholz (8-10) allowed one run and three hits over seven innings for the Red Sox. Bostons seven-game winning streak, which began with a sweep of the Yankees, is its longest since an identical run early in the 2014 season.The loss kept Baltimore a game behind the Blue Jays for the top AL wild card. The Orioles have lost five of seven, all at home, and scored only nine runs in their last five games.Theyll get it going here, manager Buck Showalter said. If we can get in, I feel real good about this group.Boston rallied against All-Star reliever Brad Brach, who replaced Ubaldo Jimenez (7-12) with two on and one out in the sixth. Aaron Hill hit a dribbler in front of the mound and beat the throw to first base following a miscommunication between Brach and catcher Matt Wieters.That loaded the bases for Jackie Bradley Jr., who struck out on a 3-2 pitch. Sandy Leon then hit a sharp grounder toward first base at Davis, who rushed an off-balance throw that whisked past Brach, allowing two runs to score.Obviously just didnt make a very good throw on it, Davis said. Probably a ball I couldve stayed back on and just gone to the bag, but I just reacted and when I went to throw, it just kind of stuck in my hand.Said Brach: I was just heading over to the bag, and when I picked up (sight) of the ball it was just coming a little hard to me and a little bit out of my reach.Benintendi hit the next pitch over the wall in right field.Its frustrating when they dont get a ball past first base, 90 feet away, and two runs score, Brach said. And obviously I need to make a better pitch on the next batter.That all but assured the Red Sox their 12th win in 15 games. They have also won seven of eight on the road.After Boston loaded the bases in the first inning but failed to score, the Orioles capitalized on the same situation in the third when Adam Jones hit a sacrifice fly.The Red Sox again filled the bases in the fourth before Leon bounced into a 3-6-1 double play.The next time Boston loaded the bases, two innings later, the Red Sox finally came through -- albeit with a little help from Davis.YOUNG PHENOMSRed Sox: Benintendi is the latest young player to come through for the Red Sox down the stretch. The rookie slugged his second homer and had a season-high three RBI. For a young kid that steps into this pennant race, hes responded very well, Farrell said.Orioles: Trey Mancini, the organizations Minor League Player of the Year, lined out as a pinch hitter.TRAINERS ROOMRed Sox: 2B Dustin Pedroia was back in the lineup after being held out Tuesday to get treatment on his left knee. . 1B Hanley Ramirez is dealing with a sore left shoulder and got the night off. He is expected to return Thursday. . RHP Steven Wright (shoulder) threw from 120 feet at the teams minor league facility in Fort Myers, Florida. He could throw a bullpen session this weekend.Orioles: OF Steve Pearce underwent successful surgery on his forearm Wednesday.UP NEXTRed Sox: LHP David Price (16-8, 3.91 ERA) brings a seven-game winning streak into the series finale.Orioles: RHP Chris Tillman (16-6, 3.72) attempts to reach a career-high in wins and keep Baltimore afloat in the AL East.

PHILADELPHIA -- The New York Mets continue to hang in the National League wild-card race. The Philadelphia Phillies can only hope to get there.The Mets opened the second half of their season with a 5-3 victory over the Phillies on Friday night to improve to 48-42, and remain tied with Miami for the second wild-card berth.The Phillies, winners of 10 of their last 14, are seven games out. While they are rebuilding with a young roster after finishing a major league-worst 63-99 in 2015, manager Pete Mackanin is hopeful to get a little something more out of this season.Im setting my sights high, because we still have to let guys play and find out, but we might as play for something, have a target, he said.He will send his best pitcher, right-hander Jerad Eickhoff, to the mound Saturday against the Mets, as the teams continue their three-game series. Eickhoff (6-10, 3.80) was hit hard in a loss to Colorado his last time out, but in seven starts prior to that went 4-2 with a 2.25 ERA.He will be opposed by righty Logan Verrett (3-6, 4.34), who took the loss while making a spot start on July 9 against Washington, going a season-high 6 2/3 innings and allowing five runs on four hits. He struck out three and walked a career-high five.Verrett, who has made six starts among his 24 appearances, is 0-4 with a 9.33 ERA over his last four starts. He is 1-0 with a 2.92 ERA in four career appearances against Philadelphia, two of them starts.The Mets have lost right-hander Matt Harvey for the season following surgery to repair thoracic outlet syndrome, and fellow righty Noah Syndergaard departed his July 8 start against Washington after 4 2/3 innings with what has been described by the team as arm fatigue.Syndergaard, who has bone cchips in his elbow, threw off flat ground for the second time in a week Friday, according to MLB.ddddddddddddcom, and is expected to throw off a mound Sunday. He is scheduled to start next Tuesday in Chicago, against the Cubs.Another starting pitcher, lefty Steven Matz, has also been plagued by bone chips in his elbow. In addition, third baseman David Wright (disk surgery) and first baseman Lucas Duda (back) are out, and outfielder Yoenis Cespedes missed his third straight game Friday with a strained right quadriceps.Bartolo Colon and Neil Walker held the fort for the Mets. Colon worked 5 2/3 innings to improve to 8-4, and Walker hit his 16th homer, a three-run shot, matching his total for all last season in Pittsburgh.Walker said afterward that the first game after the All-Star break is one of the hardest games of the year, since players often struggle to regain their rhythm.But sometimes if you can get a big hit, like a home run, he said, it eases the tension a little bit.Walker victimized Phillies right-hander Jeremy Hellickson (6-7), who is the subject of trade speculation with the July 31 non-waiver deadline approaching.Yeah, its on my mind, just when I see it on Twitter and talk to you (media) guys about it, he said. Other than that, Im focused every day on doing what I have to do for the next start. Like Ive said all along, I love it here and would love to be here the rest of the year, but obviously Ive been through it before and know that side of the game.He was traded after the 2014 season from Tampa Bay to Arizona, and after last season from the Diamondbacks to the Phillies.
