BOSTON V OAKLAND A'S

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 3, 2019, 10:08 PM-EDT

OAKLAND COLISEUM, OAKLAND, CA

TV: NESN, NECSA,CA

BOSTON, (1-5)...................................................................................................OAKLAND, (5-3)

BOSTON:

NATHAN EOVALDI, RHP, 0-0, 10:08 ERA

The hard-throwing righty gave up three homers and six runs in his first start,
lasting five innings, taking a no-decision. Eovaldi, looking for a better result at
Oakland where he is 1-1 with a 3.24 ERA lifetime.

OAKLAND:

MARCO ESTRADA, RHP, 0-0, 2.45 ERA, 4K

Estrada's on the record as saying that he aspires to pitch a nine-inning complete
game. He never has achieved one in his 191 regular-season ML starts, though he worked
8-2/3 innings at Tampa Bay on June 4, 2015 at Toronto

Maybe the Sox can scrape up a run or two tonight.

Or not.

markj · April 03, 2019, 09:18:59 PM

Could Cora be sending Xman a message about loafing by sitting him tonight? Or have they put forth some other reason?

markj · April 03, 2019, 09:23:23 PM

Eovaldi hits one batter and walks the next. Still only one out in the first.

markj · April 03, 2019, 09:26:12 PM

Nice DP gets them out of the inning with no damage.

markj · April 03, 2019, 09:34:00 PM

Supposedly Xman is resting because of a sore leg from a foul ball last night.

markj · April 03, 2019, 09:46:48 PM

Bases loaded, no outs. About to get real ugly here.

markj · April 03, 2019, 09:54:09 PM

Amazingly, they're out of that inning with just the one run.

markj · April 03, 2019, 10:23:22 PM

Eovaldi gives up a 2-run dinger. Sox now down 3-0. 22 innings with no runs.

BoSoxFanNY · April 03, 2019, 10:32:20 PM

Sox have now gone 22 innings against the A's with NO RUNS.
WHAT the HECK???????

At least in Seattle, they scored runs.

markj · April 03, 2019, 10:32:33 PM

Finally the Sox score a run!! Swihart goes deep to center with a solo dinger.

Thanks Blake Swihart.
A's 3 - Sox 1

A's blow a DP that allows the inning to continue. JD makes them pay with a 2-run double. Game tied at 3 now.

ACTUALLY JD walked and Mitch Moreland hit the 2 run double!
Sox 3 - A's 3

We have a game . . .
