Look at what Marco Scutaro did now

It’s Scutaro overload night on HBT.

Check out the outstanding flip to start a double play in the bottom of the sixth and help Boston hold on to a 3-2 lead Wednesday against the Orioles.

Dustin Pedroia’s effort is also worthy of note.  The Red Sox got out with their lead intact even though Jon Lester walked three batters in the inning.

Unfortunately, it looks like this will be our last Marco moment for a bit.  The Red Sox and Orioles have gone to a rain delay before the bottom of the seventh.  It’s decent timing for Boston, since Lester was coming out anyway.  It’s 3-2 Boston, with the Red Sox needing nine more outs.

NEW YORK — Philadelphia Phillies third baseman Alec Bohm is out of the starting lineup for the second time in three games because of left hamstring tightness.

Bohm had an MRI and the Phillies were awaiting the results. Philadelphia manager Rob Thomson said it was too soon to tell if Bohm might land on the injured list.

Bohm sat out the loss in Atlanta because of the same issue then Philadelphia was off.

Edmundo Sosa was set to start at third against the New York Mets, batting ninth.

Thomson said Bohm felt discomfort after fielding a slow roller. He played the entire game and went 0 for 3 in a 2-0 loss to the Mets.

Bohm is batting .265 with six homers and a team-high 37 RBIs this season. He has a .724 OPS.
