Red Sox pitcher Drew Pomeranz allowed just one run over six innings to pick up his 16th win of the season.
With the win, the Red Sox improve to 83-63 on the season. They maintain a three-game lead over the Yankees in the AL East.
Red Sox Pull Away Late
With the game tied at 1 in the bottom of the sixth, Benintendi hit a double to center field to score Dustin Pedroia and give the Red So a 2-1 lead.
Mitch Moreland then followed up with a double of his own to score Benintendi and give the Red Sox a 3-1 lead.
In the bottom of the 7th, Benintendi hit a two-run single to give the Red Sox a 6-2 lead. Earlier in the inning, Pedroia hit a sacrifice fly to score Rafael Devers.
The A’s would get one run back in the 8th, but would not get any closer.
