Red Sox outfielder Mookie Betts ended Friday night’s game against the Orioles by robbing Chris Davis of a home run. The blast would have ended starter Rich Hill’s bid for a shutout. The Red Sox took the first game of the three-game set 7-0.

Hill, in the outing, limited the O’s to two hits and a walk while striking out 10. The 35-year-old lefty made his season debut on September 13, making his first major league start since 2009. Now with three starts under his belt, his stats are mind-blowing considering where he’s been in recent years:
Rich Hill, 3 starts this year (first MLB starts since 2009): 23 IP, 3 ER (1.17 ERA), 10 H, 2 BB, 30 K. 10 K in all 3 starts.
