A’s offense goes silent and defense melts down in 9-0 degrading loss

The A’s have done something no MLB team has done since 1906: they’ve tallied the most errors possible through a team's first five games with 13 total. Errors had been a concern heading into 2024 and through the first four games against the Cleveland Guardians, but the A’s reached an all-time low on Monday with five total against the Boston Red Sox.

Combine those errors with a disastrous Joe Boyle start and just four total hits and you’ll get a 9-0 humiliating loss.

The Red Sox would waste no time getting to Boyle as Jarren Duran slapped a single just two pitches into the game.
