So no Fourth of July baseball for the Orioles at Boston. Today's game was rained out and will be made up Saturday as part of a day-night doubleheader.
The first game is scheduled for 1:05 p.m. with Game 2 at 7:15 p.m. The first game will air on MASN2 HD and the second game on FOX.
So here are a few notes to hold you while you wait for the next game:
* Adam Jones went 6-for-12 in the Texas series with two homers and five RBIs. Jones has a seven-game hitting streak and is 12-for-23 (.522) with two doubles, two homers and five RBIs.
* Over his last 15 games, Steve Pearce is 23-for-59 (.390) with 14 extra-base hits. Pearce has eight doubles, six homers and nine multi-hit games in that time. He is 9-for-20 over his last five games with three doubles, three homers and nine RBIs.
* The Orioles pitched well in the Texas series with a team ERA of 2.00. The O's allowed 10 runs in those four games after giving up 23 in four games against Tampa Bay. The O's bullpen pitched 11 1/3 innings against the Rangers, giving up just one run with one walk and 14 strikeouts.
* The Orioles took two of three from Boston at Camden Yards June 9-11, winning 4-0, losing 1-0 and winning 6-0. The one run they allowed in that series was their fewest in a three-game set against Boston since pitching three straight shutouts from Sept. 2-4, 1974. The O's starters in that series in June - Bud Norris, Chris Tillman and Wei-Yin Chen - gave up just one run and 14 hits in 21 innings.
* The Orioles are 5-5 against Boston this year. They are 37-28 versus the Red Sox since 2011, the most wins by any American League East team. The Rays are next with 33 wins. Since Sept. 20, 2011, the Orioles are 16-8 at Fenway Park.
When Miguel Gonzalez (4-5, 4.56 ERA) faces Jon Lester (9-7, 2.92 ERA) in Game 1 tomorrow, Boston has the edge on paper. Gonzalez has an ERA of 6.14 in three starts since returning from the disabled list while Lester is 3-0 with a 1.21 ERA his last four starts.
But also consider these facts: Gonzalez has a record of 13-7 with 3.69 ERA in 30 career starts against the AL East. Also, Lester is 1-4 against the Orioles since starting his career 14-0 versus Baltimore through the 2011 season. In Lester's eight starts against the Orioles since the 2012 season, Boston is 1-7.
Bundy tonight: Dylan Bundy made the start for Single-A Frederick tonight at Lynchburg and gave up three runs over 4 2/3 innings against the Hillcats in his fourth outing of the 2014 season.
Bundy allowed one run in the second inning to snap a 13-inning scoreless stretch dating back to his first start with short-season, Single-A Aberdeen.
Lynchburg scored twice in the fifth to take a 3-1 lead and Bundy was pulled for Jimmy Yacabonis with two outs in that inning. He left down 2-1 but a third run scored on a wild pitch and was charged to his record.
Bundy tonight: 4 2/3 innings, four hits, three runs (all earned), 2 walks, 3 strikeouts.
In his first three starts for Aberdeen Bundy pitched 15 innings allowing 10 hits and one run with three walks and 22 strikeouts.
