KRIS DAVIS |
THE BEST RED SOX TEAM EVAH! ...
Kris
Davis' 3-run homer lifts
the A's over the Sox
April 22, 2018 ...
Kris Davis hit a tiebreaking, three-run homer with two outs in the
eighth inning, sending the Oakland
Athletics over the Red
Sox 4-1. A day after getting no-hit by Sean
Manaea, The Sox lost back-to-back games for
the first time under new manager Alex Cora. Davis had two hits and drove in all four runs for the A’s. Marcus
Semien and Stephen
Piscotty added two hits apiece as Oakland won for the
sixth time in seven games. Semien and Piscotty hit back-to-back singles off
Price (2-2) with one out in the eighth. After Jed
Lowrie struck out for the third time, Davis lined the
first pitch into the seats in left field for his sixth home run. Davis also had
an RBI single off Price in the first. Price allowed nine hits and four runs over
7 2/3 innings. He struck out six and walked one.
Coming off Manaea’s gem, the A’s got another strong pitching performance
against the hard-hitting Red Sox. Daniel
Mengden gave up one run in 6 1/3 innings and Blake
Treinen (1-1), Oakland’s third reliever, retired five batters. Treinen tweaked
his left knee while fielding Blake
Swihart’s comebacker but remained in the game and got Christian
Vazquez to fly out to end it.
Mengden allowed a pair of first-inning singles, then retired 16 of 17
before yielding back-to-back hits in the seventh.
Mitch Moreland had
two hits and Brock
Holt drove in the Sox lone run.
The Red Sox had won their first six series this season before dropping two
of three at the Coliseum. They still have the best record in the majors at 17-4. |
