BOSTON (AP) \u2014 The Boston Red Sox failed in their bid for a second winning streak of 10 or more games in the same season, losing to the Athletics 7-3 on Saturday.<\/p>\n
Boston recorded a franchise record-tying 15-game winning stretch, matching a mark from 1946, before it was stopped on July 22. The team’s attempt for a second streak of 10 or more games for the first time in the franchise’s 126-year history fell short against the A’s.<\/p>\n
Gage Jump worked six strong innings, Tyler Soderstrom and Henry Bolte hit solo homers, and Jonah Heim and Donovan Walton added two-run doubles for the Athletics, who snapped a nine-game skid. The A’s hadn\u2019t won since beating the Red Sox at home on July 28.<\/p>\n
Jump (5-7) struck out a season-high 11 and allowed two runs and six hits.<\/p>\n
Andruw Monasterio had a two-run single in the first inning for the Red Sox, whose nine-game run started the day after Jump earned a victory by pitching six scoreless innings.<\/p>\n
Red Sox first baseman Willson Contreras returned after missing two games with an illness, went 0 for 4 and was booed for jogging lightly on a ground out.<\/p>\n
The Athletics’ bullpen, which entered with the majors\u2019 highest ERA (5.64), allowed one run in the last three innings. Hogan Harris got the last four outs for his 10th save.<\/p>\n
The Athletics erased a two-run deficit with a run in the fourth, two in the fifth and two in sixth.<\/p>\n
Boston’s Jake Bennett (7-5) breezed through the first three innings, allowing only a walk. He was pulled with one out in the sixth and charged with four runs.<\/p>\n
Brian Serven\u2019s RBI single cut the Athletics’ deficit in half before Heim\u2019s two-run single in the fifth put them ahead. Walton\u2019s pinch-hit ground-rule double off reliever Justin Slaten into Boston\u2019s bullpen added two more runs in the sixth.<\/p>\n
Athletics shortstop Jacob Wilson matched the MLB record of 110 straight games without committing an error at the position. He is tied with the Baltimore Orioles’ Mike Bordick (2002).<\/p>\n
\t\t\t\t\t\t\tUp next<\/p>\n
Athletics RHP J.T. Ginn (8-6, 3.51 ERA) will start Sunday. The Red Sox haven\u2019t announced a starter.<\/p>\n
