The Boston Red Sox defeated the Baltimore Orioles 5–3 on April 26 at Oriole Park at Camden Yards in a low-scoring affair that saw both offenses struggle at the plate. Boston's pitching proved the difference, allowing just six hits and three earned runs while striking out seven, posting a 4.38 ERA despite surrendering five walks. The Red Sox managed seven hits of their own and converted five of those into RBIs, enough to overcome Baltimore's two home runs and three RBIs from a lineup that batted just .238 with a .721 OPS. The Orioles' defense also cost them, committing one error in a game where Boston's disciplined approach—drawing five walks—created pressure that Baltimore's pitching staff could not fully manage, walking five of their own. Boston's superior pitching efficiency and run conversion in a tight contest underscore the importance of limiting free passes as both teams continue their early-season adjustments in the AL East.
