Josh Beckett came within one out of a shutout before allowing two runs Saturday in a win over the Orioles.
Beckett still became the league's first 15-game winner after taking a 6-0 lead into the bottom of the ninth.
He got two outs after a leadoff double from Brian Roberts, but back-to-back hits from Miguel Tejada and Kevin Millar knocked him from the game.
After Manny Delcarmen issued a walk, Jonathan Papelbon came on for the one-out save.
Beckett improved to 8-1 with a 1.65 ERA in nine road starts this year.
If he could have gotten the shutout, it would have been his first as a member of the Red Sox and third overall.
