Stat of the Day: The Sox will finish no worse than tied for the best record in baseball. They lead the Cardinals (96-65) by one game. The Sox last had the best record in the game in 2007, when they tied with Cleveland with 96 wins.
Notes: This is basically a scrimmage as the Red Sox have wrapped up everything than can be wrapped up before the Division Series starts on Friday. ... Webster was a late replacement for John Lackey once the game lost meaning. ... Tillman is 3-1, 1.95 in five starts against the Red Sox this season. The Orioles haven't had a 17-game winner since Mike Mussina was 18-7 in 1999. ... The Sox are 8-10 against the Orioles this season and 13-23 since the start of the 2012 season. ... Saltalamacchia takes a 10-game hit streak into the game. He is 15 of 37 with eight extra-base hits in the streak. ... The Sox are trying to win their 35th series of the season. That would be the most since the 1946 team won 37. ... Nava is 8 of his last 14. ... Drew is 16 of his last 48 (.333) with eight extra-base hits and eight RBIs in 13 games. ... The Sox have won five of eight and are 5-5 in their last 10 games.
