BOSTON -- Notes from last night's game . . .
-- The Sox' bullpen coughed up six runs to the Orioles, only the second time in the last 16 games that the opposition has scored against Boston's pen. Baltimore also turned the trick on June 2, scoring four runs at Hideki Okajima's expense.
-- J.D. Drew has homered in three straight games, the fourth time in his career that he has done so, and the first time since May 12-14, 2004. Drew has a nine-game hitting streak. He's batting .517 (15 for 29) over that stretch with five homers, three doubles, a triple and 12 RBI.
-- Drew and Manny Ramirez hit back-to-back homers in the fifth. It was the sixth time the Sox have hit consecutive homers.
-- Ramirez's hitting streak has reached 14 games. Ramirez is batting .389 (21 for 54) with seven homers, two doubles and 20 RBI in his streak.
-- Manny Delcarmen served up the tie-breaking sacrifice fly to Kevin Millar, the first batter he faced in the seventh. But the right-hander worked 1 2/3 shutout innings, stretching his scoreless streak to 7 1/3 innings.
-- The double by Dustin Pedroia in the first inning snapped the second baseman's 0-for-18 drought. Pedroia went 2 for 3.
