Red Sox Frustration Continues Fall to A’s 7-3 [VIDEO]
The Boston Red Sox' early season frustrations continued on Thursday afternoon, as they fell to the Oakland A's 7-3. The Red Sox starting pitching was again the problem, as Eduardo Rodriguez gave up 6 runs in 3.2 innings.
His line was 3.2 innings pitched, 8 hits allowed, 6 runs, 3 walks and 2 strikeouts. Again the long ball was a problem as he gave up a 3 run homer to Stephen Piscotty to tie the game after the Red Sox had taken a 3-0 lead.
The Red Sox had 10 hits with Andrew Benintendi and JD Martinez each had 2 hits. Martinez hit his 3rd homer of the season, a solo shot in the 3rd inning.
