The Oakland A’s went 17-9 in June, but the back half of the month was a bit of a bummer with a few heartbreaking losses, and July got off to a tough start with another defeat yesterday afternoon.
The A’s will look for a fresh start Friday night, as the Boston Red Sox come to town. The two contending clubs faced off in May at Fenway Park and the green-and-gold won two out of three games, and now they’ll get together again for three more at the Coliseum.
On the mound for Oakland is Frankie Montas, who is also looking for a bounce-back after allowing 10 runs total in just over 10 innings over his last two starts.
