BALTIMORE -- Mookie Betts is at his best when facing the Baltimore Orioles -- especially in cozy Camden Yards. Discount MLB Jerseys .Feasting again on Baltimore pitching, Betts homered twice and drove in five runs to carry the resurgent Boston Red Sox to a 5-3 victory Tuesday night.Betts hit a three-run drive in the fifth inning and added a tiebreaking two-run shot in the seventh. Hes batting .426 with 12 homers and 18 RBI in 11 games against the Orioles this season.Exactly one-quarter of his 28 home runs this season have come in Baltimore, where the left-field foul line is a mere 333 feet from the plate. Yet the right-handed hitting Betts insists theres no plausible explanation for his success in this ballpark.Im going to continue to say I dont know why, he said. Im just trying to put good swings on it and enjoy it.Red Sox manager John Farrell certainly gets a kick out of watching it.He feels comfortable in this ballpark and obviously sees the ball well, Farrell said.Betts had three homers and eight RBI in a 16-2 win over Arizona on Sunday, so its not as if hes only picking on the Orioles.Im sure there are some numbers to dictate that its more us, manager Buck Showalter said, but hes been having that type of year against most everybody.The victory lifted Boston into a tie with Baltimore in the AL East, one game behind division-leading Toronto.We all are well aware of what is at stake, where we are in the standings and who is around us, Farrell said.The Red Sox were in first place on July 21, then lost 13 of 20 before their current streak of five wins in row.Boston starter Eduardo Rodriguez had a no-hitter before leaving in the fifth inning with left hamstring tightness. The Red Sox hope they caught it early enough to keep the lefty in the rotation without missing a turn.Matt Barnes kept the Orioles hitless until Steve Pearce reached on a dribbler that got past the mound with one out in the seventh.Baltimore ended up batting around and tying the game at 3. After Matt Wieters hit a two-run single, Brad Ziegler (1-3) walked Adam Jones with the bases loaded before striking out Jonathan Schoop.The deadlock didnt last long. David Ortiz led off the eighth with a single against Brad Brach (7-2) and Betts lined an 0-1 pitch into the front row of seats beyond the left-field wall.Craig Kimbrel, the sixth Boston pitcher, worked a perfect ninth for his 21st save.Rodriguez and Yovani Gallardo were locked in a scoreless duel until the fifth. After Andrew Benintendi hit a leadoff double and Xander Bogaerts drew a one-out walk, Gallardo struck out Ortiz with a 2-2 fastball. Betts hit the next pitch over the left-field wall.PAPELBON RUMORFarrell confirmed that the team has had discussions with reliever Jonathan Papelbon, who was recently released by Washington. Papelbon pitched for Boston from 2005-11, primarily as a closer, but would not hold that same role if he returned, Farrell said.TRAINERS ROOMRed Sox: 3B Aaron Hill was scratched shortly before game time with right forearm tightness. ... RHP Steven Wright (right shoulder strain) will come off the DL next Tuesday. ... There is no timetable for RHP Koji Uehara (right pectoral strain) to throw off a mound, but he is doing better than anticipated, Farrell said. ... OF/C Blake Swihart underwent successful surgery on his left ankle Monday and is expected to be ready for spring training in 2017.Orioles: Showalter expects reliever Darren ODay (rotator cuff strain) to spend the minimum time on the DL and return on Aug. 27. ... LHP T.J. McFarland (inflamed left knee) gave up four hits and three runs in 1/3 inning for Class A Frederick in his first rehab game.UP NEXTRed Sox: LHP David Price (10-8. 4.29 ERA) starts in the finale of the series Wednesday night. Price has gone at least eight innings in eight of his 25 starts.Orioles: After the game, Showalter announced that RHP Dylan Bundy (6-3, 2.93) would start Wednesday in place of RHP Chris Tillman, whos experiencing shoulder discomfort and was moved back to Saturday vs. Houston. MLB Jerseys China .com) - The women will also have a new champion at the Australian Open. Cheap Nike MLB Jerseys .

In a season of multiple firsts for Greater Western Sydney, another prestigious one looms tantalisingly within reach.With two more victories the Giants would secure an AFL flag faster than any non-Victorian club.Locked in to a home preliminary final showdown with Western Bulldogs on Saturday, GWS are hurtling towards the end of their fifth season.No club starting from scratch outside Victoria has won a flag that quickly.A Giants premiership this year would also create another record as none of the non-Victorian clubs won a flag in their first finals campaign.West Coast won their first flag in their sixth year in 1992 and added a second two years later.The two SA clubs got there almost as quickly, with the Crows taking seven years and Port Adelaide eight.The Giants were far from the fastest of the non-Victorian clubs to make a finals debut.West Coast made it in just their second season and the two South Australian clubs got there in their third.Some clubs had longer growing pains.Fremantle and the Brisbane Bears each had to wait till their ninth season before they got a taste of finals action.Brisbanes extraordinary hat-trick of titles from 2001-2003 didnt materialise until they became the Lions, having merged with Fitzroy in 1996.The two South Australian and West Australian clubs were built along different lines from the leagues two youngest clubs, Gold Coast and GWS, who were loaded with high draft picks but were relatively light on players with AFL experience.It (the list building method) was different, but whether the quality of player was any greater or less, thats subjective, said Giants general manager of football operations Wayne Campbell.But they didnt just go through the draft, they were given players essentially. Cheap MLB Jerseys Nike 2020.
