| |  | 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.''
| | 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.''

*Red Sox-Orioles Preview* =========================
By JON PALMIERI STATS Editor
Boston (66-87) at Baltimore (92-60), 7:05 p.m. EDT
Chris Tillman may not have the name recognition of some of the game's best pitchers, but he seems like a lock to start a playoff opener for the AL East champion Baltimore Orioles.
Few starting pitchers have been more consistent over the past three-plus months than Tillman, who tries to help prevent the Orioles from rare consecutive home losses Saturday night against the Boston Red Sox.
Baltimore's rotation has quietly been baseball's best this month, posting a major league-best 1.78 ERA and .213 opponents' batting average over the last 17 games. Every member of the staff has contributed during that run, but none moreso than Tillman (12-5, 3.29 ERA), who is 5-0 with a 1.70 ERA in his past nine starts.
The right-hander has allowed three earned runs or fewer in 19 consecutive starts, tying Milt Pappas for the third-longest streak in franchise history.
Tillman notched his 15th quality start in that span Sunday against the Yankees, allowing one run and five hits over 6 2-3 innings while walking one and striking out six.
"You have to command the fastball to both sides, throw the offspeed when you need to," he told MLB's official website.
This will be the fifth start this season against Boston for Tillman, who is 2-1 with a 2.57 ERA in the first four. He's limited the Red Sox to two runs over 11 innings in two meetings this year at Camden Yards.
David Ortiz is 2 for 24 lifetime against Tillman, while Will Middlebrooks (0 for 18) and Xander Bogaerts (2 for 11) also have struggled in this matchup.
Ortiz had no problems in Friday's series opener, homering in the fourth inning before hitting a two-run shot in the 10th to lift Boston to a 5-3 victory. Yoenis Cespedes also went deep as the Red Sox ended a five-game skid to Baltimore (92-61) and handed the Orioles only their second loss in 12 games.
Ortiz moved into a second-place tie with Jim Rice for 100-RBI seasons with Boston, one behind Ted Williams, who had nine.
"It's a big compliment to be mentioned with him. It's something I have done with a lot of consistency and hard work," Ortiz said. "I have to come in and do my best every day regardless of how the team is playing."
Despite being in pursuit of the Angels for the league's best record and home-field advantage throughout the postseason, Baltimore rested starters Adam Jones, Nick Markakis and J.J. Hardy. The Orioles dropped to a major league-best 30-9 at home since last losing two straight there June 28-29.
Alejandro De Aza continued to make his late-season acquisition look like a good one, collecting two doubles and a single. He's 19 for 54 (.352) with nine extra-base hits in 13 games with Baltimore.
Nelson Cruz also had three hits and is 12 for 28 during a seven-game hitting streak.
Rubby De La Rosa (4-7, 4.31) seeks his first win in more than a month for Boston.
The right-hander is 0-3 with a 6.91 ERA in six starts since beating the Angels on Aug. 10. While De La Rosa has completed five innings just once in his last four outings, he also hasn't received much support from his teammates, who have totaled six runs with him on the mound in those games.
It was another struggle last Saturday at Kansas City, where the Royals reached him for five runs and six hits over four innings in a 7-1 win.
De La Rosa was a 6-0 loser June 11 in his first career start against the Orioles, yielding four runs in 5 2-3 innings.
