Pratt's Instant Replay: Red Sox 9, A's 6

The Oakland Athletics' slump has officially become a skid. After a 9-6 loss in Boston, the A's have lost four games in a row. They haven't dropped that many games in succession since their nine-game losing streak spanning May 22 to June 21, 2012.Cheap Jerseys

Prior to the Red Sox win on Monday, the A's had won eight consecutive games against them. The last time the A's took eight in a row from the Red Sox was in 1932, when they were the Philadelphia Athletics.

The A's got down big in this game and still managed to make it competitive. After struggling mightily offensively in their previous three games, the A's hitters had a respectable day at the plate.

Starting Pitching Report

A.J. Griffin had the worst start of his career. He allowed a career-worst seven earned runs on eight hits over four innings. The A's young starting pitcher left the game with no outs in the fifth inning.

The A's were down 4-3 entering the fifth, and had just scored a run when Griffin got a potential double play ball that was dropped by second baseman Andy Parrino. Instead of two outs with nobody on base, the Red Sox had two on and no outs with David Ortiz stepping to the plate.
