BOSTON — Utilizing his platform as a major leaguer, Jharel Cotton is doing his part to help with hurricane relief in the Caribbean.
On Wednesday night, his A’s teammates provided him a boost as well.
Cotton navigated through trouble to make it through five innings, benefiting from some early offense, a stout bullpen and one very heady defensive play by Matt Olson to get the victory as the A’s beat the Red Sox 7-3 at Fenway Park.
The win snapped an eight-game road losing streak for the A’s, and it gave Cotton just his second win of the season in a night game.
