The Boston Red Sox visit Camden Yards on Wednesday night looking to build on their strong AL Wild Card position against a Baltimore Orioles squad that has fallen well short of playoff expectations this season.
Boston's Brayan Bello takes the mound coming off a dominant shutout performance against the Yankees, while Baltimore counters with spot starter Roansy Contreras in what could be a crucial series for both teams' remaining season goals.
With the Red Sox sitting 12 games ahead of the Orioles in the standings and this AL East rivalry split 5-5 over their last 10 meetings, Wednesday's contest sets up as a potential statement game for the visiting contenders.

Baltimore Orioles vs. Boston Red Sox preview
The Red Sox head to Camden Yards riding momentum from Monday's 4-3 series opener victory, but their road struggles continue to haunt them at 36-35 away from Fenway.
Boston will lean on Brayan Bello, who's been outstanding lately with a shutout gem against the Yankees in his last outing, improving to 10-6 with a solid 3.07 ERA this season.
Baltimore faces uncertainty on the mound after calling up Roansy Contreras from Triple-A Norfolk, with manager Tony Mansolino hinting the right-hander will pitch 'a good amount' but keeping his role vague.
The Orioles desperately need a turnaround after posting just 4.0 runs per game this month while their pitching staff continues to miss the departed Corbin Burnes and injured Grayson Rodriguez.
This AL East rivalry has been dead even over the last 10 meetings at 5-5, though Baltimore's season has been a far cry from their playoff expectations after a disappointing 43-52 first half.
With Boston clinging to their Wild Card position and Baltimore trying to salvage something from a lost season, Wednesday's clash carries different stakes for each club.
