BOSTON - Curt Schilling may not have been pleased with his own performance, but in the end, it didn't matter.
The Red Sox exploded for eight runs over the final three innings to defeat the Baltimore Orioles 13-4 yesterday afternoon.
"It's a 25-man roster of guys who know how to win," Schilling said. "That's huge. It just seems like that it's a different somebody every night."
Schilling (4-1) picked up a no-decision, going 51/3 innings and allowing four hits and four runs. He threw 95 pitches, 65 for strikes. He squandered a 4-1 lead, running into trouble in the sixth inning, but another solid bullpen effort made up for it.
With the score tied at 4 in the sixth inning, Kevin Youkilis (2 RBI) drilled a single up the middle to give Boston (24-11) the lead for good. The Red Sox tacked on three in the seventh and five in the eighth to put the game out of reach.
Javier Lopez, Hideki Okajima, Brendan Donnelly and Jonathan Papelbon combined to throw 32/3 scoreless innings to close it out.
Timlin still on the shelf
Injured reliever Mike Timlin's condition hadn't changed as of yesterday, according to Red Sox manager Terry Francona. Timlin, who has been on the 15-day disabled list since May 3, is still displaying symptoms of shoulder tendonitis. He was examined Friday night by Dr. Thomas Gill and will be reexamined tomorrow.
"Unfortunately, it's really where he was the last time," Francona said. "I was hoping for better news."
Odds and ends
Left-hander Jon Lester will continue his rehibilation program tomorrow, throwing a side session.

Francona can sympathize with Blue Jays ace Roy Halladay, who is out for 4-6 weeks after coming down with a case of appendicitis. Francona had his appendix out, he said, as a small child ... "It feels like getting hit by a truck," he said. ... Francona smiled when discussing the relative lack of media members on hand yesterday: "That's okay," he said. "I don't have a problem with that." ... Portland Sea Dogs pitcher Clay Buckholz struck out eight straight batters Friday night, breaking the previous franchise record of six, held by A.J. Burnett, Josh Beckett, Lester and Kason Gabbard.
