Red Sox Benefit The Most From The New Dimensions In Baltimore In Camden Yards' First Series Of 2025

So far, it's the opposition taking advantage of the latest change in dimensions at Camden Yards.

The Boston Red Sox hit three two-run home runs Thursday in an 8-4 win over Baltimore, and all of them went to left field, where the Orioles moved the wall in a bit during the offseason. Alex Bregman's drive in the first reached the seats, meaning it would have been gone in 2024 as well, but the other two homers didn't.

Baltimore moved the wall back and made it significantly taller before the 2022 season, then decided that was excessive and moved it in before this season. The Orioles moved the wall in approximately 13 feet in the left field corner and about 26 feet near the bullpens in left-center. The team also lowered the previous 13-foot wall near the left field foul pole to 8 feet, and the wall height was lowered to just below 7 feet near the bullpens.

"Very nice, very nice," Bregman said, laughing. "It was very far away before."

In the first home series of the season, the Orioles dropped two of three to the Red Sox. The home run tally was Boston 4, Baltimore 1 - with all four of the homers by the Red Sox going to left.
