20-2. No Really, 20-2
Pete Abraham reports: The Red Sox were humiliated by the Athletics, losing 20-2. In what has been a season of embarrassing moments for the Sox, this was worst.No further word yet on Jon Lester. James Loney had a hit (hit streak!), and Salty (pictured) hit home run #23.
The 20 runs were the most for Oakland since Sept. 30, 2000 when they beat Texas, 23-2. The Sox, incredibly, have allowed 13 or more runs six times this season.
