| | | 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* =========================
Baltimore (8-7) at Boston (7-10), 7:05 p.m. EDT
Ubaldo Jimenez is probably facing the wrong team as he seeks to end his woes.
He has endured an ugly history against the Boston Red Sox as he looks to avoid dropping to 0-4 for the Baltimore Orioles on Sunday night at Fenway Park.
Jimenez (0-3, 7.31 ERA) is seeking to avoid a start similar to 2011, when he lost his first five decisions among his first nine outings. He is also trying to avoid losing four starts in a row for the first time since Aug. 26-Sept. 11, 2012.
The right-hander's problems began when he gave up four runs in six innings in a 6-2 loss to Boston (8-10) on April 2, dropping him to 1-3 against the Red Sox in five regular-season starts with a 10.27 ERA - his worst against an AL opponent.
Jimenez's best outing against Boston may have been in Game 2 of the 2007 World Series when he allowed two runs over 4 2-3 innings in a 2-1 road defeat for Colorado. He issued five walks in that one, and including that contest, has walked 19 Red Sox hitters over 28 1-3 innings.
Dustin Pedroia has the most hits off Jimenez among the Red Sox, going 7 for 13. Pedroia is 21 for 45 (.467) during a 10-game hitting streak against Baltimore (8-8), going 10 for 22 to help Boston take three of five 2014 meetings.
The Red Sox evened this four-game set with a 4-2 victory Saturday. David Ortiz homered and Brock Holt hit a tiebreaking triple in the seventh inning.
Holt is 3 for 7 in this series in his first action of the year.
"You want to go out and play well anytime you're out there," he said. "I've got these first two under my belt and had some success, hopefully I can continue to keep going out there."
Red Sox rookie shortstop Xander Bogaerts will be back in the lineup after he sat out for the first time Saturday.
"He's played in every game and after some long games and travel, he's being rested," manager John Farrell said.
Boston's Jake Peavy (0-0, 1.93) is unbeaten in his last 10 regular-season starts, going 3-0 with a 3.17 ERA. He struck out eight and gave up one run in six innings Tuesday in a 2-1 road loss to the Chicago White Sox.
It may be a good idea for the Orioles to give J.J. Hardy the day off. Hardy is in a 5-for-26 slump and has one hit in 17 at-bats versus Peavy.
There could be some bad blood remaining after the benches emptied briefly Saturday in the seventh after Bud Norris threw high and tight to David Ross, who was trying to sacrifice. Ross yelled something, but Orioles catcher Matt Wieters stepped in between and both sides retreated to the dugouts.
"It's emotional. Ross is a good player - a good catcher and a pro," manager Buck Showalter said. "But I know Matt. He's not going to allow somebody to yell at his pitcher like that - especially when he doesn't have any reason to."
Baltimore slugger Chris Davis is 2 for 17 with eight strikeouts against Boston this year and hitless in five at-bats versus Peavy.
