Baltimore ? Curt Schilling pitched seven innings of five-hit ball, David Ortiz drove in the tiebreaking run with a bloop single in the seventh, and the Boston Red Sox exploited Baltimore’s revamped bullpen in a 6-1 victory Wednesday night.

After losing two straight to Toronto by a combined 17-6 score, Boston scored five runs over the final three innings to avoid its first three-game skid of the season. Alex Cora hit his first homer for the Red Sox, who have won 16 of their last 19 games against the Orioles.

Schilling (3-1) gave up one run and struck out three. The 40-year-old right-hander gave up a home run to Miguel Tejada but allowed only one other batter beyond second. Orioles starter Daniel Cabrera (1-2) pitched well but was victimized by the bullpen.
