Last night’s game between the Boston Red Sox and the Oakland Athletics was a beatdown in Oaktown. Red Sox starting pitcher Justin Masterson was bullied by the Athletics’ bats into submission.
In front of over 24 600 fans in the O.co Coliseum, on another cloudy, windy night in Oakland, Athletics starting pitcher Drew Pomeranz took the mound, to counter Masterson. The lefty proved to be too much for Boston’s bats, early on. After Pomeranz had a three-up-three-down first inning, it was Masterson’s turn. Athletics’ Marcus Semien thrashed a triple to center field, which put him in perfect position for the next batter, Josh Reddick, to pick up an RBI, with a single to right field.
