Meanwhile, the Red Sox are in the midst of a three-series homestand at Fenway Park, with Baltimore being their final opponent after facing the Braves and Mets. The Red Sox are seeking to gain momentum, as they have lost six of their last ten games leading up to play on Monday, May 19. 🎙 Play-by-play announcer Kevin Kugler and analyst Eric Karros will call Orioles-Red Sox for FS1 off-monitor.
Once the Orioles-Red Sox game ends, please head over to Fox for "Baseball Night in America," beginning at 7:00 PM (ET). Most of the country will watch the Dodgers vs. Mets game, while select markets will receive the Guardians vs. Tigers game instead. Read on for previews of each matchup.
