The scuffle continues.
The A’s lost the series opener to the Boston Red Sox 6-1, losing for the 15th time in 17 games.
The rookie starting pitcher was rocked hard early and often, and the offense only managed three singles, a trio of walks, and a solo shot from a 37-year-old DH. The bullpen was unscored upon, though!
A’s offense goes quiet
After looking like they were waking up a little bit in Cleveland, the bats went cold again on Tuesday night against Red Sox starter Nick Pivetta. Their first baserunner in the third was wiped out on a double play, and a leadoff single from Tony Kemp in the fourth was wasted after a strikeout ended the inning with Kemp on third base.
