Boston is coming off a series victory against their American League East rivals, the Toronto Blue Jays. The Red Sox are now 54-50 with a 29-21 record on the road. Boston is 7.5 games back of first place in the AL East race and holds the second Wild Card in the American League, only behind the New York Yankees. This comes after they were in last place in the division for much of the season and didn’t look like they were even going to sniff the playoffs. The Athletics, meanwhile, have fallen out of their AL West division race, now sitting at 44-61 and 20-30 at home.
The A’s are trying to avoid losing three in a row, and they’ve already lost four of their last five games. The Red Sox will start Payton Tolle in the opener, who is 5-6 with a 3.31 ERA in 89.2 innings. The A’s will counter with Jack Perkins, who is 2-5 with a 6.75 ERA in 62.2 innings.
The Athletics lost their rubber match to the Minnesota Twins on Sunday, 11-8, after winning the series opener on the road. Ryan Jeffers was just too much for the Athletics, as Minnesota’s catcher went 3-for-5 with three RBIs. The game was much closer than anticipated, considering that the Athletics didn’t score until the sixth inning when Nick Kurtz hit a three-run home run. The A’s scored three more in the seventh and two more in the ninth, but the comeback was just too much to overcome. At least the next seven games will be at home for the A’s.
