OAKLAND -- It took a two-out replay review in the eighth inning for the A's to get their first hit against Red Sox starter Eduardo Rodriguez, but they avoided a series sweep with their second hit one inning later when Khris Davis' double off Craig Kimbrel, with help from a fielding error by left fielder Brock Holt, plated Danny Valencia for a 1-0 walk-off win at the Coliseum.
With the shocking loss and a Blue Jays win, the Red Sox fell to one game back in the American League East.
