 With SRN Sports, I'm Jeremy House. Major League Baseball, the Oakland A's get the better of the Boston Red Sox. Lawrence Butler's two-run double was part of a three-run third as the Athletics beat the Red Sox 5-2. Shane Langelier has worked out a bases-loaded walk in the third inning against losing pitcher Nick Pavetta before Butler delivered his two-bagger. Winning pitcher J.P. Sears was sharp over five and two-thirds, giving up a run on four hits and two walks with eight strikeouts. He allowed Rob Refsnyder's homer in the sixth.
