| |  | 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 KEVIN CHROUST STATS Writer
Baltimore (7-7) at Boston (7-9), 7:10 p.m. EDT
Baltimore Orioles manager Buck Showalter gave pitcher Chris Tillman an extra day off between starts, but he couldn't be happier to see his impressive right-hander back on the mound.
Tillman will be back in action Friday night as the Orioles begin a four-game set in Boston against the Red Sox and their struggling bats.
"Just thought Tilly could benefit, regardless of who we are facing or where we are down the road," Showalter told the team's official website. "The thing that's optimum is his health - and everybody's."
Tillman (1-1, 0.84 ERA) has allowed two earned runs in three starts this year, exactly the kind of start the Orioles (7-7) were hoping for after his breakout 2013 season. Despite taking the loss, his last outing might have been his best as he held Toronto to two unearned runs on three hits in eight innings of a 2-0 defeat last Friday.
"I told him after the game, that was one of the best I've ever seen Tillman throw to be honest with you," center fielder Adam Jones said.
Tillman has also had success against the Red Sox, compiling a 4-1 record with a 2.15 ERA in eight starts since Sept. 28, 2012. That includes a 2-1 win March 31, when he went five innings and allowed Grady Sizemore's homer.
He's held David Ortiz to 2 for 19 in their career matchups and will be opposed by John Lackey.
Lackey (2-1, 3.86) won his first two starts, including a victory in Baltimore on April 2 in which he allowed two runs on three hits in six innings. He regressed Saturday, allowing six runs on 10 hits in 5 2-3 innings of a 7-4 road loss to the New York Yankees.
"It's a long lineup, they're deep and (I made) just a couple too many mistakes," Lackey told the team's official website.
Lackey went 2-1 with a 3.34 ERA last season against Baltimore, and he fired a two-hitter in a 3-1 home win versus the Orioles on Sept. 19.
Orioles first baseman Chris Davis, who has reached base in 13 straight games, is a .344 hitter against Lackey in 32 at-bats.
Baltimore heads to Boston (7-9) having swept a rain-shortened home series against Tampa Bay behind some dominant pitching. The Orioles held the Rays to a run on 12 hits in the two games, including Wednesday's 3-0 victory to give the staff 12 straight scoreless innings.
"It's not about the hitters, it's about the starting pitchers setting the tone, and we follow suit," Jones said. "In the last two games, the starters and then our bullpen comes in and shuts them down."
The Red Sox have also won consecutive games after losing their opener against the White Sox. Xander Bogaerts' solo homer was their only hit off Chicago starter Chris Sale in seven innings on Thursday, but David Ross' tiebreaking RBI double in the ninth helped lift Boston to a 3-1 victory.
"It was a huge team win," Ross said. "Think about it, the whole game was pitching, defense, timely hitting, tough at-bats, key walks, big homer. It was just an all-around team win. We just had to scrap and claw."
Boston went 14 for 104 in the series and is batting .171 in its last eight games.
First baseman Mike Napoli returned to the lineup after missing Wednesday's game with a dislocated left ring finger, and reliever Koji Uehara also returned to close it out after Jon Lester went eight innings. Uehara hadn't pitched since April 9 due to right shoulder discomfort.
Second baseman Dustin Pedroia went 7 for 15 in the season-opening series against Baltimore but is 8 for 50 since, including a 0-for-4 night against Chicago.
