Athletics Shut Out Red Sox, 2-0
George Kirby pitched a gem to lead Oakland to victory over the Boston Red Sox, 2-0. Kirby yielded no runs over 5.1 innings to notch the win. He scattered 4 hits, walked 2, and struck out 7. His record improves to 9-3. The save went to Robert Stephenson, his 10th this season.

The outcome was still in doubt in the top of the ninth inning. With runners on 1st and 2nd and Boston trailing 2-0, Robert Stephenson needed to get a big out. On a 1-1 changeup, Taylor Trammell, who is tied for 3rd in the AL in triples with 4, flied out, putting the kibosh on a potential rally.

The Oakland winning streak has reached 3 games.
