Red Sox Cruise Past A’s
Trailing 1-0 in the bottom of the second, the Red Sox offense exploded for five runs in the inning.
Boston got RBI singles from Xander Bogaerts, Christian Vazquez, and Dustin Pedroia. Betts then hit a two-run triple to give the Red Sox a 5-1 lead.
The Red Sox then got two runs in the fourth, fifth and sixth innings to take an 11-1 lead.
Red Sox pitcher Eduardo Rodriguez went six innings and gave up one hit and one run while striking out nine. He is now 5-5 on the season.
Series Continues
The Red Sox and A’s continue their series on Wednesday, September 13 at 7 p.m.
The pitching matchup is Boston’s Doug Fister against Oakland’s Jharel Cotton.
This is the 18th game this season the Red Sox have had at least 14 hits. They’re going to bat three more times (at least)
