The road has some bumps in it for the Boston Red Sox, but they keep plugging away in the right direction as they play a string of eight games against American League East rivals away from home.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n
There’s another one set for Wednesday night against the Baltimore Orioles.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n
The Red Sox have won the first two contests of the four-game series, including Tuesday night’s 5-0 triumph. That came despite Boston batters striking out 10 times across the first six innings.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n
Yet Red Sox shortstop Trevor Story reached a milestone in the game with his 200th career home run. He said he would just as soon look ahead at this point.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n
“It’s a cool benchmark to hit,” Story said. “I try to pride myself on being consistent. … It’s a fun thing to say I’ve done in my career, but right now it’s more focused on that win and chasing down that division title.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n
Boston has won five of six games on the trip and improved its season road record to 32-35.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n
Right-hander Brayan Bello (10-6, 3.07 ERA) is lined up as Boston’s starting pitcher on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n
Bello faced the Orioles on May 23, giving up two runs in four innings with seven strikeouts without a decision in a game the Red Sox won 19-5. He’s 4-2 with a 3.75 ERA in seven career starts versus Baltimore.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n
The Red Sox made moves on their pitching staff Tuesday, with left-hander Jovani Moran called up from Triple-A Worcester and right-handed reliever Richard Fitts going on the injured list. Fitts pitched in relief Monday night.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n
Boston manager Alex Cora said he’s fine with the depth in the bullpen.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

 <\/p>\n

“We’ve got options,” he said. “We still got options down there (at Triple-A Worcester). Obviously, less than a week ago, but we feel good where we’re at.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n
The Orioles will use left-hander Dietrich Enns (1-2, 4.97) in an opener role Wednesday. It’s expected that right-hander Roansy Contreras will handle bulk innings for Baltimore in his debut with the team.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n
Contreras made 28 appearances (14 starts) with Triple-A Norfolk this season with a 7-3 record and 3.73 ERA.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n
The Orioles are testing players at various positions to try to project future roster construction.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n
Samuel Basallo, who’s natural position comes as a catcher, has been plugged in as a first baseman.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n
“There’s a skill set that will play well,” interim manager Tony Mansolino said. “Playing first base at this level, you don’t just throw anybody out there. Sammy has a really nice skill set.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n
The Orioles are taking an extended look at outfielder Colton Cowser in center field. He mostly had been a left fielder until roster moves that included a late-July trade of Cedric Mullins.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n
Cowser’s progress is something to consider.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n
“I’ve been very pleasantly surprised with what he has done in center field,” Mansolino said. “He’s playing a much more aggressive style of defense.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n
It wasn’t all smooth in Baltimore’s outfield Tuesday night. Left fielder Dylan Beavers, who made his major-league debut earlier this month, misplayed a ninth-inning fly that ended up as a double.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n
