Swihart shines again as Red Sox earn another spring win vs Orioles

Share

Make it three in a row to start spring training for the Red Sox as they defeated the Orioles on Sunday, 7-1.

Blake Swihart was the story for the Sox at the plate. The former top prospect didn't make an out as he recorded a double, home run, and a walk to continue what's been a stellar spring for him thus far. 29-year-old outfielder Jeremy Barfield contributed with a home run as well.

As for on the mound, Brian Johnson got the starting nod and looked strong. Johnson tossed two scoreless and hitless innings and struck out two batters before being replaced in the third inning by Joe Kelly, who pitched a perfect inning of his own.

The Red Sox hope to keep the streak going when they face the Pirates on Monday.
