BOSTON -- With the ball repeatedly flying out of Fenway Park for the Red Sox on a perfect Sunday afternoon (you couldn’t find a cloud anywhere), it was easy to forget the power outage that took place for this same team just a month ago.

Instead of powerless, the Red Sox are now powerful. That point was made emphatically when they got five homers from five different players in a 12-2 romp of the Orioles.

“Yeah, it looks very much like who we are and what we sought out to be,” said winning pitcher Nick Pivetta. “It allows us [as pitchers] to feel less pressure.”

Bobby Dalbec got the party started in the second inning when he hammered one high and deep over the Monster. Dalbec has just three homers this season, but two have come the last two days.

Production from Dalbec going forward would be significant because the Red Sox are a force when they get production in the lower part of the batting order.

“I just think my body is in the right spot, and in the right spot at the right time,” Dalbec said.

Just two batters after Dalbec’s two-run blast, Franchy Cordero swatted a Statcast-projected 448-foot missile into the bleachers in center off lefty Bruce Zimmermann, who became the fifth pitcher in Orioles history to give up five homers in one outing.

Much like Dalbec, Cordero is a supporting member of the offense rather than a central figure. The homer was just his fourth in 98 career plate appearances against a lefty.

“I feel really good about it. I also tried to stay up the middle. I was waiting for that pitch so I was glad it went over the fence,” said Cordero.

The third homer of the day -- which came in the third inning -- was from the most expected source of power in Rafael Devers, who mashed his 11th homer of the season. In typical Devers fashion, it was scalded at an exit velocity of 110.7 mph and for a projected distance of 434 feet.

Platoon player Christian Arroyo got into the act in the fourth by roping one over everything in left. And Kiké Hernández, who is starting to break out of his early-season slump, completed the quintet later that inning by going deep to left-center.

The Red Sox didn’t homer for the rest of the day and it didn’t matter. Five in four innings were more than enough. A five-spot in the bottom of the eighth was the perfect capper to a satisfying and stress-free afternoon of baseball. 

“The bottom of the lineup was outstanding,” said Cora. “Arroyo, Bobby, Franchy and obviously the big boys did their thing. The quality of the at-bats were all the way to the end. Knowing what happened a few days ago [blowing an 8-2 lead], they kept adding on and putting pressure on them, and we have a chance to win the series tomorrow.”

Backed by the barrage of offense, Pivetta turned in his fifth straight strong start (6 IP, 5 H, 1 R, 3 BB, 5 SO) following his struggles at the beginning of the season.

After starting the season 10-19, the Sox have won 13 of their last 19 and nine of their last 12.

The key to the resurgence, without question, has been the offense. All along, the rotation has been steady. The bullpen still has issues, but they are lessened with all the crooked numbers of late.

For Boston, April’s warning-track outs are turning into no-doubt taters.

From April 23-28, the Red Sox didn’t homer in six consecutive games, marking their longest drought since 2001.

In that first month of the season, they had only 12 homers in 22 games.

How is May going, you ask? The Sox have clubbed 37 home runs in 26 games.

On April 28, this is what Cora said:

“We will hit homers. That’s going to be part of it. We’re doing a better job swinging at pitches in the zone. We’re not chasing as much. With that, the home runs will come.”

Those words proved prophetic.

Through the first 32 games, the Red Sox never once reached double-digits in runs scored in a game. In 16 games since May 14, they've scored 10 or more runs five times.

“I think we’re swinging at the right pitches and we’re not trying to do too much with them,” said Dalbec. “We were all kind of pressing as a team early and just missing balls and stuff just not going our way and kind of let it wear on us. Just trying to be ourselves.”
