Entering the second game of a two-game series at Fenway Park April 12, the Orioles knew they weren't hitting well. Batting just .215 through their first six games, they knew it was only a matter of time before they broke out.
And they did.
The Orioles' six-run first inning was bigger than any first inning all of last year, and only five times last year did they score as many runs (12) as they did against the Boston Red Sox April 12.
Entering the game, the Orioles had five home runs in six games, and they duplicated that total during the first three innings alone.
