BALTIMORE -- The vast change in the Baltimore Orioles over the past couple of
years can be measured by their success against the Boston Red Sox, even when
their AL East rivals send Jon Lester to the mound.

Bengals Jerseys . Chris Davis hit his major league-leading 23rd
home run, Nick Markakis had four hits and scored three runs, and Baltimore beat
Lester and the Red Sox 6-3 Sunday. Manny Machado extended his hitting streak to
a career-high 14 games and drove in a run for the Orioles, who took three of
four from first-place Boston to move within 1 1/2 games of the division lead.
Baltimore has won six straight series over the Red Sox, dating to last year.
Before going 13-5 against Boston in 2012, the Orioles hadnt taken a season
series from the Red Sox since 2004. The metamorphosis is even more apparent when
gauging their performance against Lester. Prior to last September, when the
Orioles charged into the playoffs for the first time since 1997, Baltimore was
0-14 against the Boston right-hander. They beat him on Sept. 21, and Sunday they
tagged him for five runs in five innings. "Obviously we have a different group
here," said Davis, who was 0 for 14 lifetime against Lester before ripping a 3-1
pitch in the third inning for a two-run homer that put Baltimore up 3-0. After
striking out in the first inning, Davis took action. "Went in there and looked
at some video just to get an idea of what hed been doing to me in the past," he
said. "I know I hadnt had a lot of success. If you give him both sides of the
plate and try to hit all those pitches you make it tough on yourself. I was able
to get ahead of him and get a good pitch to drive." It was his 100th career
homer and seventh in the last 10 games against Boston. Davis also doubled in a
run in the fifth against Lester, sending the Orioles on their way to their 14th
win in 19 games against the Red Sox, including five of seven this season. "They
dont beat themselves," Boston manager John Farrell said. "Typically they throw
strikes, theyre not going to issue many walks. They play very sound defence and
they have the ability to score a couple of runs on the swing of a bat." Will
Middlebrooks hit a three-run homer for the Red Sox and Jose Iglesias stretched
his hitting streak to 17 games with an eighth-inning single. Baltimore starter
Miguel Gonzalez (5-2) took a two-hitter and a 5-0 lead into the seventh. He
ended up allowing three runs and five hits in 6 1-3 innings to improve to 3-0
lifetime against Boston. "It was fun to watch our hitters hit, especially
against Lester," Gonzalez said. "Hes been doing a great job this year and always
pitched well against us." Jim Johnson worked the ninth for his AL-leading 25th
save and second in the series. Lester (6-4) fell to 14-2 lifetime against the
Orioles, 7-1 at Camden Yards. The right-hander struck out eight but yielded nine
hits. "Theyve always been able to swing the bats, theres no question as far as
coming in here and pitching against that lineup," Lester said. "Theyve always
been a good offensive team." Not this good. The Orioles outscored Boston 17-12
in the series and had 14 hits, seven for extra bases, in the finale. Baltimore
took control with a three-run third. After Adam Jones doubled in a run, Davis
hit a drive far over the right-field wall. In the fifth, Markakis doubled and
scored on a single by Machado before Davis hit a two-out RBI double for a 5-0
lead. Middlebrooks made it interesting with his ninth home run, closing the gap
to 5-3 in the seventh. In the bottom half, however, Markakis doubled and scored
on a single by J.J. Hardy. NOTES: Bostons Mike Carp left in the seventh inning
with tightness in his right hamstring. ... A crowd of 41,311 pushed the Orioles
over the 1 million mark after 35 home dates. ... Machado hit his major
league-leading 32nd double, his fifth in five games. ... Actor Richard Gere
threw out the ceremonial first pitch. He was wearing an Orioles jersey with the
word "DAD" on the back. ... Red Sox RHP Pedro Beato pitched the sixth after
being recalled from Triple-A Pawtucket earlier in the day. ... Farrell says RHP
Clay Buchholz (neck) could go on the DL if he cant throw his bullpen session on
Tuesday. Buchholz (9-0, 1.71 ERA) hasnt pitched since June 8. Alfredo Aceves
will be recalled from Pawtucket to start in Tuesdays doubleheader against Tampa
Bay. ... Jake Arreita will start Monday in Detroit for ailing Jason Hammel, who
hopes to pitch Tuesday. ... Lester has yielded six homers in his last three
starts after giving up five in his first 12 starts.

expected.The last managerial debut of the new Barclays Premier League season
will take place at the Etihad Stadium as new Manchester City boss Manuel
Pellegrini leads his side against Alan Pardew and visiting Newcastle United. The
match can be seen on TSN at 2:30pm et/11:30am pt. Pellegrini will not be the
only new man on the pitch for Manchester City, who completed over $100 million
in transfer business during the offseason to bring in the likes of Stevan
Jovetic, Jesus Navas and Alvaro Negredo, adding them to an already impressive
offensive attack. Sergio Aguero is still the main striker on the team and though
he has been battling pre-season injuries, he is expected to be healthy for the
season opener. With main title contending rivals Manchester United and Chelsea
both opening the season with impressive and dominant victories, its up to City
to show that they belong in the upper class of the Premier League again this

left behind by last seasons transfer of Demba Ba to Chelsea. He was one of the
few bright spots on a team that occupied the bottom of the table for most of the
season and now compete a League down in the Championship. Hatem Ben Arfa will be
counted on from an attacking midfield position to run at Citys defenders and
create problems in the offensive half of the field. Manchester City has won the
last three meetings between the clubs, including a 4-0 victory at home in March
of last season. Citys 14 home wins last season put them second best in the BPL,
behind only the 16 captured by Manchester United.
