To say the Boston Red Sox have figured out the Baltimore Orioles would be an understatement.
The Red Sox completed their sweep of the Orioles on Sunday at Camden Yards and did so in style, launching six home runs to roll to their sixth consecutive victory.
J.D. Martinez (three homers) and Rafael Devers (two homers) accounted for five of those long balls in an offensive explosion, while Nick Pivetta pitched six solid innings to improve to 2-0 on the season.

Devers flashed some leather in the second inning by snaring a line drive and doubling up DJ Stewart at first base.

Devers broke the game open in the fifth inning with a three-run bomb off Jorge Lopez.
