More batters were hit with balls.
The four-game series ended Thursday night filled to the brim with beanballs, racial slurs, ejections, and fines which meant the record was nearly something to be forgotten about.
After bringing up the Orioles and Red Sox unprompted toward the end of Saturday's media session, Harbaugh defended Orioles pitcher Kevin Gausman, who was ejected Wednesday after hitting Red Sox shortstop Xander Bogaerts with a pitch. Price threw before the game and looked like he's actually progressing in his return from a spring training elbow injury, tossing three simulated innings, producing weak contact, and hitting 95 miles per hour with his last pitch, according to president Dave Dombrowski.
But the incident was one of many in the feud between the Red Sox and Orioles that began April 21 in Baltimore, when Machado slid into Boston's Dustin Pedroia, causing the star second baseman to miss the Red Sox's next three games.
Baltimore Orioles' Manny Machado is congratulated in the dugout after hitting a three-run homer in the fourth inning of a baseball game against the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park, Thursday, May 4, 2017, in Boston.
BOSTON (AP) - A tape-measure home run.
But not tonight - on this night, Machado got a piece of revenge in the fourth inning.

We have the same ambition. "It was the key moment for us because every single player found in the system their best". Antonio Conte is the main main behind Chelsea's Premier League title triumph, according to Frank Lampard.
The blast was Machado's third homer of the series, and his home run trot drew boos from the crowd.
Andrew Benintendi teased a game-changing grand slam with two outs in the Red Sox's seventh, but his deep fly ball to right field was tracked down by defensive replacement Joey Rickard.
Baltimore's Tyler Wilson (2-1) gave up three runs and six hits with one strikeout in his six-inning spot start.
Machado has been at the center of tensions between the teams and was booed during his slow trot around the bases, but there was no indication of racial slurs like the ones directed at outfielder Adam Jones on Monday night. I'm not a rookie. "I bleed for this team". That forced manager Buck Showalter to use Jimenez in relief and bring Wilson up from Triple-A Norfolk on Thursday.
Manfred said some of the animosity may have been generated because the Red Sox and Orioles met seven times in the last two weeks.
"You have pitchers out there with f-ing balls in their hands throwing 100 miles per hour trying to hit people", Machado said.
