THE BOSTON GLOBE (RED SOX DYNASTY REPORT)

BOSTON, MA - The Red Sox head home after a rough 1-4 stretch, but still find themselves just 2.5GB of AL East leading Toronto. The A's, having a poor start to the season, are looking to turn things around with a solid road win. Chris Archer and Sonny Gray take the mound today, only one of them would look like a real ace.

Oakland would open the game up with a Josh Donaldson solo-HR in the first, not a good start for Archer, but that was all Oakland had planned for the evening. Archer would settle down and basically dominate the A's hitters, racking up another 14K start, but still walk quite a few batters.

It took Boston 6 innings to get on the board themselves, but they should have scored more. Gray loaded the bases and Mookie Betts drove in Will Middlebrooks on a Fielder's Choice that had him out at 1st. Gray then intenionally walked Jackie Bradley Jr. to get to Xander Bogaerts, and then was pulled for Ryan Cook. It must have been a good move because Bogaerts popped out to end the inning. Gray, who only lasted 5.2 innings, had a decent stat line but allowed a whopping 10 hits.

Cook stayed inthrough the 8th, but that was an out too many. Betts, again stepping up, hit a solo-HR that just barely cleared the Green Monster and gave the Red Sox a 2-1 lead heading into the 9th. Uehara made it interesting, allowing two base runners, but eventually closed it out for a Boston win.
