The Baltimore Orioles must have grown tired of having the scoreboard operator kept busy by the opposition, so much so that they decided to cross the plate a few times themselves.

Chris Sale looks to continue his successful ways as the visiting Boston Red Sox vie for a sweep of the floundering Philadelphia Phillies on Thursday in the finale of a four-game, home-and-home interleague series at Citizens Bank Park.

The New York Yankees hope to avoid their first three-game losing streak in nearly four weeks when they visit the Oakland Athletics on Thursday for the opener of a four-game series.
