BALTIMORE (AP) David Price allowed four hits before a rainstorm stopped play for good after six innings, and the Boston Red Sox beat the Baltimore Orioles 8-1 on Wednesday night for their sixth straight victory.

Jackie Bradley Jr. homered and drove in four runs for the Red Sox, who swept the two-game series to climb past the Orioles into second place in the AL East.

Baltimore had been in first or second place since opening day. The Orioles' 39-19 home record is the best in the AL, but they are 2-4 against Boston at Camden Yards.

Price (11-8) was cruising until a driving storm stopped play. The game was called after a delay of 1 hour, 17 minutes.

Price struck out four and walked none to earn his second victory in seven starts since July 10. The only run he allowed came on a second-inning homer by Chris Davis.
