| |  | BALTIMORE: BALTIMORE (AP) - The transformation of the Baltimore Orioles clubhouse under manager Buck Showalter is complete.
No longer do the Orioles hope to win. They expect it.
When Showalter took over in July 2010, he inherited a team with the worst record in the majors. Having gone without a winning season since 1997, Baltimore could only hope Showalter's knack for orchestrating quick turnarounds would take hold in a town that had switched its allegiance from baseball to football.
By 2012, the Orioles were back. Baltimore won 93 games, beat Texas in the wild-card matchup and took the New York Yankees to the limit before falling in the AL division series.
After missing the postseason last year, the Orioles are poised for a return. They maintained the nucleus of a team that went 85-77 and was in contention to the final week, then added right-handed starter Ubaldo Jimenez and slugger Nelson Cruz to an already potent lineup that led the majors in home runs in 2013.
''When you have talent, you have confidence,'' right fielder Nick Markakis said. ''Put them together and good things usually happen. We've got that right now. We know we have a good team and we're going to roll with it.''
Although Jimenez and Cruz didn't come aboard until after the start of spring training, Showalter never wavered in his belief that the Orioles would challenge the defending champion Boston Red Sox and retooled Yankees in the AL East.
''I felt that way whether or not we added Nelson and Jimenez,'' he said. ''That's a poor reflection on me and my staff if we thought we needed more to win.''
| | BOSTON: BOSTON (AP) - Last season was one to remember for fans of the Red Sox - and one to forget for the players.
Soon after Boston's third World Series championship in 10 years, that bearded bunch decided to put it behind them and focus on what they must do to keep winning.
''It was a dream come true last year,'' pitcher Jake Peavy said. ''It's a new year. I think that's been a slogan of ours on the text messages that we've been exchanging with the guys, `Hey turn the page, it's a new year, it's 2014.' We haven't done anything and, obviously, some teams in our division got awfully better.''
The Red Sox won't be sneaking up on them, not after rebounding from a 69-93, last-place finish in the AL East to a 97-65 record, a 28-win improvement.
''You've got the bull's-eye on your back,'' second baseman Dustin Pedroia said. ''You want to get everybody's best, so I think it's going to be a fun challenge for everybody.''
John Farrell's disciplined, businesslike approach worked in his first year as Boston's manager. That, and the influx of players to improve the toxic clubhouse chemistry, made the one season under the animated Bobby Valentine seem like a distant memory.
Those players, including Jonny Gomes, Mike Napoli and Shane Victorino, return. The Red Sox lost center fielder Jacoby Ellsbury to the New York Yankees then signed Grady Sizemore as a possible replacement. Sizemore missed the last two seasons with knee and back injuries that required surgery but has had a healthy, productive spring training.
''In this group, no one's going to let anybody sit back and relax,'' Pedroia said. ''We're always going to push each other and make sure that we're respecting the game and playing the game the right way. If we do that, we should be all right.''

*Orioles-Red Sox Preview* =========================
By NICOLINO DIBENEDETTO STATS Writer
Baltimore (7-7) at Boston (7-9), 1:35 p.m. EDT
Manny Machado is still out, but rookie Jonathan Schoop is certainly picking up the slack.
Schoop looks to build on his best performance yet and lead the Baltimore Orioles to their first four-game winning streak since July on Saturday against the Boston Red Sox.
Machado is a cornerstone for the Orioles (8-7), but the All-Star third baseman has started the season on the disabled list while recovering from left knee surgery.
While Machado reportedly may return next month, Schoop is helping make that wait a bit more bearable. The 22-year-old is 12 of 28 with six doubles, one homer and seven RBIs during a seven-game hitting streak.
"As intense as these games are at this level, you do step back and watch Jon," manager Buck Showalter said of his rookie third baseman, who made all five appearances last year at second. "It's fun to watch. (He's got) a great look on his face, just a real sincere, earnest look. He's not giddy. That's what I like about him."
Schoop turned in his best effort yet Friday, getting a career-high four hits with two doubles and two RBIs to power an 8-4 win at Boston (7-10) in the opener of this four-game wraparound series.
"It feels good, especially if you win and get a W," Schoop said. "It feels really, really good."
Another win would give the Orioles - winners of four of five at Fenway Park - a four-game winning streak for the first time since a five-game run from July 14-22, their longest last season.
Bud Norris (0-1, 3.75) will get the ball looking to build on his outstanding second outing, as he tossed seven scoreless innings in a 2-1 win in 12 over Toronto last Saturday. That was a dramatic improvement after he surrendered five runs and nine hits in five innings of a 7-6 defeat at Detroit a week earlier.
Norris is 0-1 with a 4.15 ERA and 23 strikeouts in 17 1-3 innings over three starts against Boston. The right-hander fanned seven batters and yielded one run in 5 1-3 innings at Fenway on Aug. 28 only to have the bullpen blow a two-run lead in a 4-3 defeat.
Boston has dropped five of seven at home thanks in large part to a 4.85 ERA - 5.03 from the rotation.
They'll hope Felix Doubront (1-2, 6.75) can end those struggles, and he made some progress in his last start. The left-hander gave up three runs in 6 2-3 innings Sunday in a 3-2 road loss to the New York Yankees.
Doubront was tagged for five runs in 2 2-3 innings of a 10-7 home loss to Texas on April 8.
"He was good," catcher A.J. Pierzynski told the team's official website after the loss in the Bronx. "When he throws the ball over the plate, he's as good as anybody. I think, what, two of the walks scored. It just drives his pitch count up. It puts him in situations he shouldn't be in."
Doubront is 1-0 with a 1.72 ERA in four home games - two starts - versus the Orioles. He beat them again in his season debut April 3 in Baltimore, yielding three runs in 5 1-3 innings of a 4-3 victory.
Mike Carp doubled for one of his two hits Friday, and he's batting .371 over his past 12 meetings with Baltimore.
