The victory puts Boston two games ahead of Baltimore in the American League East standings.
Orioles starter Tyler Wilson went 6 2/3 innings and allowed three earned runs. Wright pitched his third complete game of the season -- which is tied for the most in the Majors -- and lowered his ERA to 2.45 as he continues to roll.

MOMENTS THAT MATTERED
Can only hope to contain him: Bogaerts pushed his streak to 23 games with an RBI double to left in the third inning after Mookie Betts and Dustin Pedroia reached on singles. Bogaerts ripped a pitch from Wilson inside the third-base bag and down the left-field line, scoring Betts for a 2-0 lead and continuing the longest active hitting streak in the Majors.

Inflicting pain: One day after sitting out with a sore left foot, Red Sox designated hitter Ortiz drilled a solo home run in the eighth off Orioles reliever Ashur Tolliver. The homer, his third in as many games played and 14th overall, boosted Boston's lead to 4-2 and sparked a four-run inning capped by Hernandez's three-run blast off Givens.

O's bottom of the order makes some noise: The Orioles, who had just one single through the first four innings, got things going and created two runs in the fifth. All four of Baltimore's hits came by the 6-through-9 batters, with Nolan Reimold tripling and scoring and Ryan Flaherty driving in a run. Catcher Caleb Joseph also snapped an 0-for-19 streak with his fifth-inning single.

Wilson still quality: The O's righty wasn't at his best, but still got into the seventh inning on Monday. He struck out four and walked two in the 104-pitch outing.
REPLAY REVIEW
The Orioles won a pair of challenges, the first in the third inning on a close play at first that was initially ruled an infield hit for Hernandez before being overturned. That gave them a second challenge, which they took advantage of in the seventh inning, getting Bogaerts on a stolen-base attempt after replay review. The review took 67 seconds.
