The Red Sox got on the board early with help from one of three A's errors on the day behind starter Andrew Triggs, who was on the hook for six runs (five earned) in 5 1/3 innings -- marking just the third time in nine starts he's allowed more than three earned runs. The right-hander yielded eight hits, among them Mitch Moreland's third home run of the series, and totaled three walks and seven strikeouts.
Hanley Ramirez accounted for three of Boston's 15 hits, including a two-run double in the ninth inning against right-hander Josh Smith to pad Boston's lead.
