BALTIMORE, April 9 (UPI) -- Little-known Adam Stern had two hits and two RBI Sunday as the Boston Red Sox beat Baltimore, 4-1, to complete a three-game weekend sweep at Camden Yards.
Stern is playing center-field in place of the injured Coco Crisp -- who took over the position with the departure of Johnny Damon by free agency to the New York Yankees in the off-season.
Mark Loretta drove in a run and both David Ortiz and J.T. Snow had two hits for the Red Sox, who went 5-1 on their season-opening six-game road trip.
Winner Tim Wakefield (1-1) gave up just one unearned run and five hits in six innings with two walks and four strikeouts.
Ramon Hernandez had three hits for the Orioles, who left 14 runners on base in their fourth consecutive setback.
Loser Rodrigo Lopez (1-1) yielded four runs and eight hits in 5 2/3 innings. He walked four and fanned two.
