Red Sox Hope to Take Advantage of Slumping Adam Jones, Salvage Series Finale With OriolesEditor's note: The temperature gauge is a Bill James-created statistic that measures how hot or cold hitters are. We will spotlight Red Sox and opposing team temperatures on game days.

The Red Sox are still looking for their first home win against the Orioles this season, and if they're going to pull it off, it would help to keep Adam Jones held down.

Jones is hitting just .217 (5-for-23) in his last six games with no extra-base hits and one RBI.

Despite Jones going 1-for-9 over the last couple of nights, the Orioles are going for the sweep on Thursday night.
