A dominant pitching performance by Oakland's Alex Wood provided the basis for the visiting Oakland Athletics (42-53) 8 to 1 victory over the Boston Red Sox (52-41).

Alex Wood (7-6) picked up the victory by limiting the opposition to just 1 earned run on 2 hits, 2 walks, and 1 wild pitch while striking out 8 in the 98-pitch complete game victory; Game Score 85. Leading the A's at the plate were JJ Bleday (3 for 5, Double, Homerun, Run, 3 RBI), Jacob Wilson (2 for 4, Triple, Run, RBI, Stolen Base), and Brent Rooker (1 for 5, Homerun, Run, RBI).

The struggles of Garrett Whitlock (4-7) continued, as he was tagged for 7 earned runs on 8 hits and 1 hit batsman while striking out 5 in 5 2/3 innings of work; Game Score 30. Of Note, I am frustrated with Whitlock and intend to find him a spot in the bullpen or trade away in the next few weeks. Kenley Jansen worked 2 1/3 innings in which he permitted 1 earned run on 3 hits while striking out 3. Jansen was ineffective in that he also permitted both of the runners he inherited to score. Liam Hendricks pitched a scoreless final inning to lower his ERA to 1.79 on the season. Rafael Devers (2 for 4, Homerun, Run, RBI) was the lone bright spot at the plate for Boston.
