Clay Buchholz looks to continue his dominance over the Orioles and lead the Red Sox to a sixth straight win Tuesday night as these AL East foes begin their season series.

The starting pitchers have lasted at least five innings while allowing two runs or fewer in each of the last nine games for Boston (10-11), tying the longest such streak in franchise history, set in 1946. The Red Sox were 2-10 prior to this stretch, during which their rotation has a 0.88 ERA.

Buchholz (1-2, 5.31 ERA), for one, has an impressive history against Baltimore.The right-hander threw a no-hitter against the Orioles in 2007 and is 3-0 with a 0.32 ERA in his last four starts against them.

Buchholz’s contributions to Boston’s current pitching run came Wednesday, when he allowed one run, six hits and four walks in 5 1-3 innings of a 5-3 win in Oakland. Bases on balls have been a bit of a concern for Buchholz, who has issued 14 walks in 20 1-3 innings.

He’s not the only player in a Red Sox uniform who has regularly frustrated the Orioles, as Carl Crawford and Kevin Youkilis have battered Baltimore pitching.

Crawford, who hit his first home run with Boston on Sunday, batted .381 with 11 extra-base hits in 17 games against the Orioles last season with Tampa Bay. He’s hit .424 with eight doubles, four triples and 11 RBIs in his last 15 contests at Camden Yards.

Youkilis hit .370 with six homers and 16 RBIs in 11 games against the Orioles in 2010. He’s batted .417 with eight home runs and 23 RBIs over his last 16 contests in Baltimore.

Despite Youkilis’ exploits, the Red Sox split 18 games with the Orioles in 2010, the first time they didn’t win the season series since 2004.While Boston has bounced back following an awful start, and Baltimore has dropped 11 of 13 after opening 6-1.

The Red Sox are streaking at the right time and will catch the Baltimore Orioles playing badly. This matchup equals a big win for Boston in game one of the series.
