O's total 11 hits during win against Red Sox

Backup catcher Clevenger hits a solo shot; Gonzalez allows four runs

FORT MYERS, Fla. -- Xander Bogaerts and Will Middlebrooks hit back-to-back homers for the Red Sox in Wednesday afternoon's 5-4 loss against the Orioles.

Both of those home runs were over the JetBlue Park Green Monster and came in the bottom of the fourth inning against righty Miguel Gonzalez.

In five innings of work, Gonzalez gave up seven hits and four runs. He walked two and struck out two.

With Jon Lester pitching in a Minor League game, prospect Allen Webster made the start for Boston. The right-hander gave up 11 hits and five runs over 5 2/3 innings. Webster walked two and struck out three.

Red Sox second baseman Dustin Pedroia went 2-for-2 and exited for a pinch-runner in the third inning. Mike Carp added an RBI single for Boston.

Steve Clevenger, who recently won Baltimore's backup catching job, clubbed a solo homer. Nick Markakis added an RBI double, and Jemile Weeks went 2-for-5 from the leadoff spot.

Up next: Right-hander Ubaldo Jimenez will take the ball for the Orioles in Thursday's 7:05 p.m. ET game against the Rays (listen on Gameday Audio).
