The Baltimore Orioles defeated the Boston Red Sox 4–2 on June 2 at Fenway Park, capitalizing on superior offensive efficiency despite modest overall production. Baltimore's lineup generated nine hits with two home runs and four RBIs, posting a .717 OPS compared to Boston's anemic .693 mark. The Red Sox managed just five hits and struck out nine times while scoring only two runs, unable to capitalize on their two walks. Baltimore's pitching staff allowed five hits and two earned runs while striking out nine, holding Boston's offense in check despite a 4.59 ERA. The Orioles' power advantage—two homers to Boston's none—proved decisive in a low-scoring affair where both teams combined for modest offensive output. Boston's pitching recorded 11 strikeouts but surrendered four earned runs on nine hits, with the home team committing no errors yet still unable to manufacture offense. The result extends Baltimore's advantage in what shapes as a competitive series, while Boston's offensive struggles at .246 batting average suggest continued challenges generating runs without relying on the long ball.
