| Jason Bay might wish he had stayed in Pittsburgh after today. The post-Manny era begins with a shellacking at the hands of the Oakland A's and the second Sox slaughter in three games after that 15-2 loss to the Angels two games ago. Bay goes 0 for 4 in his Sox debut and watches with horror as his new teammates get clobbered. Tim Wakefield sucked from the start allowing the first 6 A's hitters to reach and 5 runs before getting an out. I was hoping that Wakefield would settle down due to a tired bullpen, but it became painfully obvious that would not happen. Wake can only go 1 2/3 innings allowing 9 hits and 8 runs, and an ungodly bad game score of a 5! Kurt Suzuki goes 4 for 5, scores 5 times and knocks in 4 courtesy of 2 homeruns, Chris Gonzalez drives in 5 of his own, and every A's batter had at least one hit. 10 of the A's 17 hits were for extra bases with 7 doubles and 3 homers and they still leave 10 runners on base with 8 walks allowed by the Sox pitchers. Dustin Pedroia provides the Sox's only spark with a 3-run homerun in the 6th after Oakland jumped out to a 14-0 lead. Overall, a total embarassment. Play account follows the box score. |

WEB GEMS- Top 9th: Jed Lowrie robbed Bobby Crosby of a base hit.
Kurt Suzuki smacked 2 homeruns and had 4 RBI as the Oakland Athletics smashed
the overmatched Boston Red Sox, 15 to 3.
Suzuki was in a groove all evening. The Boston fans hated to see him
approaching the batter's box. He cracked a two-run shot in the 1st inning,
banged out a single in the 2nd inning, delivered a base-hit in the 5th inning
and popped a two-run clout over the fence in the 6th inning. Oakland lit up
the scoreboard in the 1st inning with 6 runs on 6 hits. Oakland dominated
offensively as they scored in 6 different innings.
Justin Duchscherer(9-5) went 5 innings allowing 3 runs for the victory. Tim
Wakefield(10-7) suffered the loss. He allowed 8 runs and 9 hits in 1 and 2/3
innings.
