Recap: Baltimore Orioles VS Boston Red Sox 2025-05-25

What a beautiful Sunday in Fenway, unless you're a Red Sox fan, that is. The Baltimore Orioles came to town and salvaged a split of the four-game series with a 5-1 win, because who doesn't love a good underdog story?

Ryan O'Hearn and Dylan Carlson were the heroes of the day, each hitting a solo homer to seal the deal for the O's. But let's talk about O'Hearn's "Little League homer" - because who needs a traditional home run when you can double to the gap, get hit by a throw, and watch the ball carom away for a score? It's like the baseball gods decided to give the Orioles a participation trophy.

The Red Sox, on the other hand, struggled to find their offense for the second straight game, and it's no surprise given the news that Alex Bregman is out with a strained right quadriceps. The Orioles, meanwhile, are celebrating their first consecutive wins since April 30 and May 2 - yes, it's been a while.

The win marked just the third time the Orioles have come out on top in their last 13 games, so they're not getting too ahead of themselves. But hey, a win's a win, and they'll take it. The Red Sox, with their 27-26 record, will have to regroup and try again next time. Maybe they can get some tips from Rafael Devers, who's still hitting a cool .303 with 12 homers and 48 RBIs.

In the end, it was a fun day at Fenway, unless you're a Red Sox fan. But hey, at least the Orioles got to enjoy their 5-1 win, and we got to enjoy the absurdity of a "Little League homer."
