BOSTON -- Craig Hansen's scoreless streak came to an end at 6 2/3 innings, spread over six outings.
The right-hander was nicked for three runs, two of them earned, in the ninth inning as the Orioles expanded a one-run lead and turned it into a 10-6 victory.
An error by second baseman Dustin Pedroia, who dropped a forceout throw from shortstop Alex Cora, didn't help. Hansen, though, wasn't about to blame his ineffectiveness on Pedroia.
"Pedey makes great plays for all of the pitchers on this team and I'm sure tomorrow he'll be out there doing the same thing," said Hansen.
"I felt I mislocated a couple of fastballs that were base hits. Then I got some ground balls, and they got hits. I was unlucky for some of it. I can improve," said Hansen, who gave up four hits in his one inning.
