The Boston Red Sox’s road slate ends Sunday.
The Red Sox will complete their 2014 road schedule with a matinee showdown against the Baltimore Orioles. Baltimore, of course, will play into October while Boston’s season will end exactly one week from Sunday.
The series finale represents a rubber match, as the clubs split the first two games of the series. David Ortiz launched two home runs, including a game-winner in the 10th inning, in the Red Sox’s 5-3 win Friday. Adam Jones drilled two homers in the Orioles’ 7-2 win Saturday.
Who’s going deep twice Sunday?
Neither Joe Kelly nor Miguel Gonzalez will do the honors, but they will headline the pitching matchup. Kelly allowed four runs on five hits over six innings while earning a win in his last start a week ago against the Kansas City Royals.
The Red Sox are 36-44 on the road this season. NESN.com Red Sox beat writer Ricky Doyle will be tweeting live throughout road contest No. 81, which kicks off at 1:35 p.m. ET. Follow him on Twitter and check out the updates below.
