David Ortiz sat last night—but the bats didn't. The Red Sox put on their second straight offensive display,
crushing the hapless Athletics, 13-5. Three more HRs rocketed out of Fenway—a first-inning lead-off blast by
Mookie Betts; a two-run shot by
Hanley Ramirez; a sweet 'oppo' three-run smash by
Travis Shaw. All in all,
The Carmine Hose belted out 16 hits—even
Chris Young went 3-4 with an RBI. Shaw ended up with
five RBIs, while scoring two.
Jackie Bradley, Jr. also extended his hitting streak to 16 games. The pitching of
Sean O'Sullivan was decent—although he began running our gas in the sixth inning. As good as this win was, we have to also focus on the fact that Red Sox pitching gave up 15 hits. That's probably not sustainable for the long haul.
