Rick Wise allowed only one hit for the second time in two weeks and pitched the Red Sox to a 2-0 victory over the Orioles. Mike Cuellar engaged Wise in a scoreless duel until the eighth inning when the Red Sox scored their pair on a single by Dwight Evans, a sacrifice, double by Steve Dillard and single by Butch Hobson. Wise previously pitched a one-hitter on June 14, beating the Twins, 5-0. [The Sporting News]
