The Boston Red Sox edged the Baltimore Orioles 6–5 on July 20 at Fenway Park in a low-scoring affair that fell short of the 8.5-run Vegas total. Boston's pitching staff dominated with 15 strikeouts while allowing 11 hits and maintaining a 3.55 ERA, though the Red Sox managed only 10 hits and a modest .709 OPS at the plate. Baltimore struck out 15 times against Boston's pitchers and generated 11 hits of their own, posting a slightly better .719 OPS but ultimately falling one run short. The Orioles' pitching held firm with a 4.21 ERA across nine strikeouts, but Boston's single home run and six RBIs proved decisive in the one-run margin. Both teams committed zero errors, keeping the game clean defensively despite the offensive struggles evident in the combined 24 strikeouts. This defensive battle suggests Boston's pitching depth will be crucial as the division race tightens heading into August.
