Smoltz allowed one run and three hits. He walked one and struck out two.
Kevin Youkilis and Jacoby Ellsbury homered for the Red Sox, and Dustin Pedroia had three RBIs.
Before Boston blew its lead, it made a far less lamentable mistake. In the sixth inning, Boston's infielders joined pitcher Justin Masterson in walking off the field with two outs in the sixth inning.
Thinking Pie's grounder to shortstop was the third out, Masterson walked toward the Boston dugout and was followed by his infielders. All of them sheepishly returned after realizing their gaffe.
NOTES: Orioles CF Adam Jones ran into the wall trying to catch Youkilis' homer. He stayed in the game but was ultimately replaced by Pie in the third inning. ... The Red Sox placed 3B Mike Lowell on the 15-day disabled list and recalled Jeff Bailey from Triple-A Pawtucket. Bailey batted ninth and went 3 for 4 and scored three runs.
