The Oakland A’s played a game on July 4, but instead of fireworks it was mostly strikeouts and popups.
The A’s collected just four hits and were shut out 1-0 by the Boston Red Sox on Sunday at the Coliseum, wrapping up a series loss against the team with the top record in the American League.
After an emotionally draining 12-inning victory last night, Oakland simply never got anything going on offense this afternoon. They collected only four hits and three walks, and only twice did they put multiple runners on in the same inning, in the 1st and 9th.
