The Sox will look to turn the page when the Orioles visit Fenway Park for a two-game series. After hosting Baltimore on Monday and Tuesday, the Red Sox have an off day on Wednesday before they begin a four-game series at the Yankees on Thursday.
Dustin May will get the nod for the Sox, making his third start for the club since he was acquired from the Dodgers at the trade deadline. The Orioles will counter with lefthander Trevor Rogers.
Here is a preview.
ORIOLES (57-67): Holliday 2B, Westburg 3B, Henderson SS, Mountcastle 1B, Cowser CF, Basallo C, J. Jackson DH, Beavers RF, Carlson LF.

Orioles vs. May: Dylan Carlson 0-2
Red Sox vs. Rogers: Alex Bregman 1-3, Jarren Duran 0-5, Romy González 0-1, Ceddanne Rafaela 0-3, Rob Refsnyder 0-2, Trevor Story 0-4, Ali Sánchez 0-2, Abraham Toro 1-2, Connor Wong 1-4, Masataka Yoshida 2-2
Stat of the day: With Sunday’s loss, the Red Sox fell to 57-2 when leading after eight innings.
Notes: The last-place Orioles have won four of their past five games and took two of three games from the Astros in Houston over the weekend. … The Sox may be without Wilyer Abreu, who had two hits, including a two-run home run in Sunday’s loss, but left the game with tightness in his right calf after he scored on a sacrifice fly in the seventh inning. … Abreu is batting .300 with an .860 OPS over his last 16 games, driving in 14 RBI. … May’s only appearance against the Orioles came in September 2019. He didn’t allow a run in two innings and didn’t factor in the decision. … Rogers is 0-2 with a 2.45 ERA in 18⅓ innings over four starts against the Red Sox. That included his 6⅓ scoreless innings in a 2-1 Baltimore win on May 24 in which he did not get a decision.
