 In the opener, both teams had 13 hits in the game. The Red Sox chased Joey Estes, the starting pitcher for the A's, after just an inning and two-thirds, where he was tagged for eight runs on seven hits. He walked a batter as well. The bullpen came in and, I guess, kind of settled things down. But for the most part, it was that monster second inning. But the A's did chip away a little bit. They got to Brian Baio.
