Red Sox starter Wade Miley (1-2) was tagged for seven runs (six earned) on five hits in 2 1/3 innings on Sunday in his loss to the Orioles.
Miley allowed a run in the second inning and then six more in the third before being removed with two outs.
"It's just embarrassing," he said to the Boston Herald. "I know I'm better than this. . . . Both those games, I didn't give us a chance at all. And it's so hard for an offense to keep going when a starter goes out in the third inning and gives up seven runs. I've got to do a better job."
The big blow in the third inning was a two-run double from first baseman Chris Davis.
"Each game is different, but just command of the strike zone," said manager John Farrell. "To their credit, they put the bat on some balls, they squared some balls up, they found some holes. Seemingly offensively they did whatever they wanted to today."
Miley will try to get back on track in his next start that's set for Saturday against the Yankees.
