A’s vs. Red Sox game thread
The Oakland A’s dodged a blowout yesterday, losing to the Boston Red Sox by <em>just</em> 3 runs after letting them take an 11-2 lead by the 2nd innings. Lawrence Butler and Zack Gelof came back late with a couple big homers to cut the final score to 12-9. The loss is still a loss but at least the two youngsters got to drive forward their breakout and resurgence, respectively.
