BALTIMORE—David Price won his eighth straight decision and Hanley Ramirez homered as the Boston Red Sox completed a four-game sweep of the sinking Baltimore Orioles with a 5-3 victory on Thursday night. Boston has won eight straight to open a 5 ½-game lead over idle Toronto in the AL East. With 13 victories in their last 16 games, the Red Sox have moved within one game of Texas for best record in the AL. Baltimore fell seven games out and dropped 1 ½ games behind the Blue Jays for the top AL wild card. The Red Sox have won each of the left-hander’s last nine starts since Aug. 7.
