Stat of the Day: Jacoby Ellsbury extended his hitting streak to 37 against the Orioles after a 2-for-5 performance Tuesday. That is the longest such streak by a Red Sox player against any team and the longest ever against the Orioles franchise.

Notes: The Orioles are 7-3 against Boston this year ... The Red Sox are 4-9 in August ... Miguel Gonzalez is 2-0 with a 2.08 ERA in his last three starts ... Cook allowed seven runs in 2 2/3 innings against the Orioles in a May 5 start ... Cook will make his first appearance tonight since beating the Rangers Aug. 6, when he allowed one run over seven innings ... Reliever Andrew Bailey was activated off the disabled list before Tuesday's game, walking one batter and striking out another in his Red Sox debut.
