BOSTON -- Wade Miley knows he hasnt been very good since coming to the Orioles.On Monday night, he was even worse.Miley retired just four batters -- giving up four runs before recording an out -- and allowed six runs as the Boston Red Sox ran away from Baltimore for a 12-2 victory.Since being acquired from Seattle on July 31, the left-hander has gone past the fifth inning just twice in eight starts. Hes failed to get out of the second a pair of times.It just happened fast. Real quickly it was over it, he said. Everything I threw they just hammered.Miley fell to 1-5 with Baltimore in the shortest start of his career.He had a good fastball, but command got him, Baltimore manager Buck Showalter said. Theyre a really good offensive club -- like we are -- and theyre going to make you pay for those mistakes. He made a lot of them. I kept hoping hed find his stuff, but he didnt.David Ortiz hit his 536th home run to tie Mickey Mantle for 17th on baseballs career list, and David Price allowed just a pair of solo homers to lead the Red Sox, keeping Bostons AL East lead at two games over second-place Toronto. The Orioles dropped to three out, but still one game ahead of Detroit for the second wild card.Miley (8-13) allowed five runs in the first inning before loading the bases in the second.Asked how he thinks hes done so far with Baltimore, he said: Obviously, thats not really a good question, its not been very good.Chris Young homered, doubled twice and singled, and Hanley Ramirez also homered for the Red Sox, who maintained a two-game lead over Toronto.The Red Sox won for the fifth time in six games, scoring in each of the first seven innings before going down in order in the eighth. Ramirez hit his eighth homer in his last 15 games as Boston, the top-scoring team in the majors, got 11 runs or more for the fifth time in 10 games.Price (16-8) allowed two runs on two hits and zero walks, striking out nine in eight innings for his seventh straight victory. Its the longest winning streak in his career for the left-hander, who signed a seven-year, $217 million free agent contract over the offseason.Dustin Pedroia and Xander Bogaerts led off the bottom of the first with singles and then Ortiz lined one to the warning track in left-center. Left fielder Steve Pearce jumped to glove the ball, but it came out as he tried to avoid crashing into the Green Monster.Bogaerts had already begun retreating to first before Ortiz, rounding the bag, signaled for him to run in the other direction. The Orioles claimed Pearce had possession of the ball before dropping it, but the review upheld the original call and Ortiz had a single.Mookie Betts then hit a liner that stymied Pearce and went over his head for a double. When Ramirez followed with a single to left, Pearce was nonchalant in getting the ball back in; Betts, having stopped at third, scored to make it 4-0.Miley finally recorded an out, then got another on Sandy Leons sacrifice fly that gave Boston a 5-0 lead. Jackie Bradley Jr. was caught stealing to end the inning.Boston scored single runs in each of the next five innings, including Ortizs 33rd homer of the year into the Baltimore bullpen in the sixth. The Red Sox scored two more in the seventh.DIFFERENT OPINIONShowalter and Pearce both thought the LF caught Ortizs drive in the first.I know I caught the ball, Pearce said.Replays showed he didnt appear to ever have control as the ball fell to the ground.I thought he caught it, Showalter said.HOLD EVERYTHINGShowalter asked for a review of the game-ending double play as the Red Sox players were coming out of their dugout to celebrate.Dirty Water by the Standells was played over the PA -- as they always do in Fenway Park after Red Sox victories -- and Bostons players stood in foul territory, milling around waiting for confirmation that the game was over.Once the 55-second review confirmed the call, they joined their teammates on the field.TRAINERS ROOMOrioles: RHP Darren ODay is scheduled to pitch in a simulated game on Tuesday. He has been on the DL since Aug. 12 with a right shoulder rotator cuff strain.Red Sox: Knuckleballer Steven Wright hasnt resumed throwing yet. Manager John Farrell said he is getting better from a right shoulder strain but it will be challenging to get him ready with just a few weeks left in the season.UP NEXTOrioles: Game 2 of the series is Tuesday night, with righty Dylan Bundy (8-5) scheduled to start.Red Sox: Lefty Drew Pomeranz will start for Boston.

IOWA CITY, Iowa -- Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz will typically play veterans he trusts over youngsters who might have more potential.Ferentz wont have a choice but to lean on at least a few untested kids at wide receiver in 2016.The 17th-ranked Hawkeyes will be led by one of the Big Tens best in senior Matt VandeBerg, who caught 65 passes a year ago. After him, experience is slight.Three of the six players listed on the depth chart for Iowas season opener against Miami of Ohio on Saturday have never played a game for the Hawkeyes (12-2 in 2015). A fourth, Jerminic Smith, had just six receptions as a freshman in 2015. A fifth, senior Riley McCarron, has just 93 career yards receiving.I think weve made good strides, Ferentz said. How ready we are? Well find out on Saturday. But were making good progress there.The lone newcomer to earn a starting nod for the opener was Jay Scheel, a sophomore from Mount Auburn, Iowa, that Hawkeyes fans have been excited to see for years.Scheel was a touted recruit who made the switch from quarterback to receiver when he got to Iowa. A redshirt year was followed in 2015 by a year spent sitting behind departed seniors Tevaun Smith (32 catches for 563 yards in 2015) and Jacob Hillyer (16 catches in 2015).But Scheel earned the starting nod at split end over Jerminic Smith, who gained over 100 yards in less than a half subbing for the injured Tevaun Smith in a win over Illinois last year, despite missing some time in August with a hamstring injury.Hes shown a lot of improvement, senior quarterback C.J. Beathard said. He and Jerminic are going to have to step up, and they were improving as ccamp went on.dddddddddddd Im excited to see them out there.McCarron is also listed as a starter, and Ferentz praised the strides he has made on Monday. But it might not be long before true freshman Devonte Young overtakes him on the depth chart.Iowa was the first school to offer Young a scholarship back when he was a sophomore at North Point High in Maryland, where he went on to earn league player of the year honors in 2015.Hes a pretty mature young guy, Ferentz said. Hes picked up the offense pretty well. Hes done some things that have really impressed us.But even if Scheel, Young and sophomore Ronald Nash -- a rare junior college transfer listed as VandeBergs backup -- prove to be Big Ten ready, its tough to imagine anyone but VandeBerg leading Iowa in catches in 2016. He is a classic Iowa success story under Ferentz, an overlooked recruit from South Dakota whose 65 receptions were third-best in program history.Weve had good chemistry for a couple of years now, and I think a big part of our offenses success will be how he and I relate to each other, Beathard said.Still, Iowa will need more than just VandeBerg to contend for another Big Ten West title.But the Hawkeyes young wideouts have already earned the approval of star cornerback Desmond Kind, who spent the past month playing against them during fall camp.We have a very, very hungry wide receiving corps. I believe they have a lot of talent over there, King said.---Follow Luke Meredith on Twitter at www.twitter.com/LukeMeredithAP ' ' '
