YouTube The Baltimore Orioles have extended Samuel Basallo a week into his major league career. The 21-year-old reportedly agreed to an eight-year, $67 million extension that can max out at $88.5 million with incentives.

If the Red Sox keep playing like this, though, it threatens to be an awfully short October — assuming they qualify. The Sox dropped another stunner, 4-3, in 11 innings to the Orioles, after leaving the bases loaded in the eighth, ninth, and 10th innings.

The Orioles have won three consecutive series against teams in playoff position after sweeping the Red Sox in a wild game Tuesday.

The first long-term extension of the Mike Elias era has been signed in Baltimore -- and it went to the 21-year-old phenom who made his MLB debut only five days ago.

BOSTON — Over the course of a long season, there are often multiple candidates for worst loss of the year. Only a few days ago, the Red Sox squandered a two-run lead with six outs to go. And the fact that they’ve been walked off 11 times on the road is a reminder that there’s plenty of competition for the title.

Earlier this season, it looked as though former Boston Red Sox closer Craig Kimbrel might have reached the end of the road. As recently as last year, Kimbrel was on the All-Star team for the ninth time in his career.
