Betts continues historic HR tear in Baltimore

1474345218780

BALTIMORE — For Mookie Betts, there are road games, and then there is Camden Yards — his home away from home and personal stomping ground.

The Red Sox’s right fielder belted yet another home run on the road against the Orioles to lead his team to a key 5-2 victory in Monday night’s opener of a four-game series.

The two-run homer that broke a scoreless tie in the third inning marked the eighth time Betts has taken the Orioles deep in seven games at Camden Yards this season.

To put it in perspective, Betts has six home runs in the other 65 road games he’s played this season. Even before Monday night’s blast, Betts already held the record for most home runs by a visiting player in Baltimore since the Orioles moved there in 1954.

With three more games left in this American League East showdown — the Red Sox now have a four-game lead on Baltimore — perhaps Betts can make history.
