The Boston Red Sox fell in the series finale against the Oakland Athletics in a 6-5 loss Wednesday afternoon.

Oakland A's win back-to-back games for just the sixth time this season as the home team hits three home runs

JJ Bleday, Cody Thomas and Jace Peterson each hit two-run home runs, and the Oakland Athletics won their second straight following an eight-game skid, beating the Boston Red Sox 6-5 on Wednesday. Bleday’s homer was his second in as many days while Thomas’ deep drive was the first of his career. Peterson, who also walked and scored on Thomas’ home run, connected for his sixth in the fourth inning.

It’s the 11th time this season that the A’s — last in the majors in team batting average and runs scored — have hit three or more home runs in one game.

The clues do lead to specific core failings: The New York Mets had a pitching problem and the New York Yankees have a hitting one.

Lawson can take credit for what’s happening in the minors as he takes blame for the majors.

Rafael Devers', Masataka Yoshida's, and Triston Casas' mammoth home runs and Kutter Crawford's 6-inning, 1-hit gem cement 11-5 Red Sox win and series finale victory over the Cubs.
