BALTIMORE – Cedric Mullins sprinted hard out of the box and turned on the jets just before hitting second base. He dove headfirst into third, letting out a scream before smacking his hands together. If not for the cheers from Baltimore fans at Camden Yards, it appeared that Mullins expressed the emotion out of frustration. Perhaps he did. The center fielder has been engrossed in a brutal slump – a .148 batting average in May entering Monday’s Memorial Day matinee against the Boston Red Sox – and he let out his anger with a two-run triple in the fourth inning and his celebration while kneeling on third base. Mullins’ extra-base hit was one of seven the Orioles smacked en route to an 11-3 rout of the Red Sox for Baltimore’s season-high fifth straight win after sweeping the White Sox in Chicago over the weekend. “That was one of our more complete offensive games of the year,” manager Brandon Hyde said. “Using the whole field, hitting with runners in scoring position, the way we ran the bases was fantastic, moving ’em over, getting ’em in. It was really good situational baseball. That was really nice to see our offense play a complete game today.
