Nothing to see here.
The Oakland A’s lost 8-0 to the Boston Red Sox on Saturday at the Coliseum. It’s their eighth loss in nine games on this current homestand.
Today was the seventh time the A’s have been shut out this season, which ties them for the MLB lead with the Tigers and Twins. Oakland’s 20 games scoring one run or fewer are easily the most in the majors, with the runner-up Nationals standing at 17.
The A’s only managed four hits this afternoon, lowering their MLB-worst batting average to a .210 mark. They got to second base in the 2nd when Elvis Andrus doubled, and they got to third base in the 4th when Ramon Laureano doubled and then stole a bag, but both were stranded in scoring position.
