Oakland Topples Boston, 2-1
The Oakland Athletics downed the Boston Red Sox, 2-1, at Fenway Park. Stellar pitching by Ben Eckels had a lot to do with it. The right-hander, who finished 4th in the NL in wins with 14 in 2021, handcuffed his opponent all game. Oakland is now 70-83, while Boston is 87-66.

Jonathan Roberts had a direct impact on the outcome. Roberts contributed a run-scoring single in the top of the fifth inning to put Oakland up, 2-1.

"We put some tough at-bats on some tough pitches," said Oakland manager Bob Melvin.
