| The 8-4 score does not exactly tell the story of how badly the Red Sox got beat in this one. Julian Tavarez got the first A's batter of the game, then allowed 3 straight baserunners before Eric Chavez hit a grand slam. The A's would get another run in the 2nd, while Dan Haren was mowing down the Sox hitters. The Sox did not even get a hit until an Alex Cora single in the 6th! The A's would add 32 more on back to back homers off Kyle Snyder in the 6th, while the Sox would not even get their 2nd hit until there was one out in the 9th. They would get back to back singles in the 9th from Youk and Drew after Manny reached on an error, and then would add 3 more runs when Wily Mo Pena went deep off a now tired Dan Haren. Haren would give way to Alan Embree, who would get the last 2 outs to end the game. |
