The Red Sox kicked off a West Coast swing against the A’s, without Rafael Devers, on Monday. I had to stay up late to do this recap and I didn’t like it except that the Sox won easily and it was not close. Not much to do on this night.
Anyhow the first inning started with a Jarren Duran double and run scored against Paul Blackburn before a bottom half behind Brennan Bernardino, who gave up two baserunners before drawing a double play to send it to the top of the second, 1-0 Sox.
Adam Duvall hit a double to lead off the second and Triston Casas dumped in a lucky single before Connor Wong singled with one out to make it 2-0, Sox.
