WEST SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Aroldis Chapman<\/a> allowed his first hit since July 23, and the Athletics<\/a> rallied in the ninth inning to beat the Boston Red Sox<\/a>, 5-4, avoiding a series sweep.<\/p>\n

Shea Langeliers<\/a> led off the ninth with a double off Chapman (4-3), who had gone a span of 50 batters and a franchise-record 17 appearances, the third-longest streak in MLB history since 1901, without allowing a hit. Only the Marlins’ Randy Choate (20) in 2011 and Mets’ Tim Byrdak (18) in 2012 have had longer scoreless appearance streaks.<\/p>\n

After Langeliers advanced to second on a flyout, Lawrence Butler<\/a> won it with an RBI single on a 100.2 mph fastball with a 1-2 count for the A’s, who handed the Red Sox their major league-high 12th walk-off loss of the year.<\/p>\n
