The Red Sox headed out on a west coast swing that included a series with the A’s and the Mariners. The Sox had Rick Porcello on the mound who is the closest thing they have had to an actual ace since the 2015 season began vs. Scott Kazmir. The score went back and forth all night and ended up going into extra innings. The Sox were able to take the lead in the top of the 11th with some Panda fueled power and took the first game in extra innings.
No one got on the scoreboard until the 3rd inning, but unfortunately it was the A’s who jumped on the board first.
