He is taking advantage of his chances and did so again Saturday, hitting a solo homer and driving in two in the loss versus the Cubs. Joseph has a .293 average and 19 RBIs this season. "When you get a little confidence in any sport probably in any position, you can go out and perform better," Joseph said. "When you feel good and feel confident, your swing might not be the best, but when you get results it's easy to continue to kind of snowball in the right direction."

C Caleb Joseph had two hits and three RBIs in Sunday's win. Baltimore's backup catcher now has 17 RBIs in 50 games this season. He had zero RBIs in 50 games last season for the Orioles. Joseph laced an RBI double to right in the second inning and blooped a two-run single in the fifth.

C Caleb Joseph, who had two doubles and a triple Friday, homered, doubled and drove in three runs Sunday. His ninth-inning RBI double pulled the Orioles within a run, but they lost their fourth straight one-run decision. "It's hard to do," Joseph said. "Today we lost a game, 9-8. Yesterday it was 4-3. It's a little bit of both. You run into a stretch through a 162-course season that this type of stuff happens. You don't want it to happen very long. Of course, we're not trying to. But, we've got a chance in every game. Today was a testament to how our offense really came back, really never let us get out of touch. A couple of our previous games, it's been a nice job of our pitchers holding there and giving us within a shot to make a run at it. It's just that sometimes you run into streaks like this. I think we're in one. We've got a day off. Rest up, and try to hit Detroit."

"I was happy with tonight's performance," Joseph said. "A lot of hard work. The hardest thing is to get hits and get (them) in the big leagues. It's a tough league. I think I'm better than what I've shown over the past year-and-a-half, but today was nice. A little individual accomplishment and the team wins. Everybody wins. It's good."

C Caleb Joseph, a late addition to the lineup, had an RBI single for Baltimore's first run Monday. A .213 hitter coming in, he has seven RBIs and has hit .273 at Fenway.

He entered the game 0-for-12 and had yet to reach base before getting a single and double in his first two at-bats and scoring the team's fourth run in a four-run fifth. He finished the night 2-for-3 but still has not driven in a run since late in the 2015 season -- but is valuable as a strong defensive catcher.
