 Third in the American League East, they won back-to-back games. They opened up their series against the Oakland Athletics with a 12-9 victory at Fenway Park. Brian Baio was credited with the win after striking out 11 batters and allowing five runs over five in the third innings. Also, the bats were hot. Home runs from Dominic Smith. Here's Dom Smith who began this inning with a walk, and he scored. He drives one deep to right down the line by the pesky pole, and this ball is gone.
