Drew Pomeranz had walked five men in his previous outing, and free passes were starting to really sink the A’s pitching staff as a whole – particularly the bullpen – during a league-high six-game losing streak.

On Tuesday at the Coliseum, Pomeranz didn’t walk a batter in the A’s 9-2 victory over Boston and, for the first time since working seven scoreless innings in his season debut, Pomeranz went more than 5 1/3 innings.
