as he drew a walk. Jackie Bradley Jr next to the plate and he cracked a
two-run shot. Mookie Betts then drew a walk. Betts stole second with some
aggressive base running. Pedroia stepped into the box and lined a single
scoring the final run of the inning. Oakland went down without a fight in
the bottom of the 10th.
Fernando Abad(3-0) went 2 and 1/3 innings allowing no runs for the win. Abad
got relief help from Craig Kimbrel who gained credit for his 19th save. The
