BOSTON (AP) — Brett Harris had a go-ahead single in a two-run sixth inning and the Athletics rallied to beat the Boston Red Sox 2-1 on Tuesday night for their first five-game winning streak in over a year.
Tyler Soderstrom had two hits and an RBI double for the Athletics, on their longest winning streak since six in a row from April 28 to May 4 last season.
Boston entered one game back of the New York Yankees for the top AL wild card. The Red Sox have lost four of five.
The Red Sox went ahead in the third when Rob Refsnyder scored from first when Carlos Narváez doubled to left-center and the ball deflected Lawrence Butler for an error as the center fielder tried to scoop it.
