WEST SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) \u2014 Andrew Monasterio hit a two-run home run in the 10th inning and the Boston Red Sox held on to beat the Athletics 4-2 on Wednesday night.<\/p>\n
Monasterio and Caleb Durbin each had three hits and Jahmal Jones also homered to lead the Red Sox to a win at Sutter Health Park a night after their road winning streak ended at 10 games.<\/p>\n
The Red Sox won despite stranding six runners over the three innings prior to Monasterio\u2019s winner.<\/p>\n
With Romy Gonzalez at second to begin the 10th, Monasterio crushed a 2-0 fastball off Jose Suarez (1-3) as many fans wearing Red Sox jerseys cheered in the A\u2019s home stadium.<\/p>\n
Jonah Heim homered and had three hits for the A\u2019s, including the 500th of his career. Lawrence Butler added his sixth home run.<\/p>\n
Aroldis Chapman (2-3) got the win in his 900th career appearance. Chapman retired three straight following a leadoff double in the ninth. Greg Weissert set down all three batters in the 10th for his first save of the season.<\/p>\n
The A\u2019s took a 2-1 lead in the fifth when Butler hit a solo drive off Red Sox starter Patrick Sandoval to deep center for his first home run since June 19.<\/p>\n
Boston tied it with an unearned run off A\u2019s starter Jacob Lopez in the sixth after third baseman Tommy White dropped a foul ball. Caleb Durbin, who singled leading off the inning, scored on Nick Sogard\u2019s two-out single.<\/p>\n
Sandoval has yet to win a game since undergoing Tommy John surgery in 2024. The 29-year-old left-hander gave up two runs in five innings with seven strikeouts and two walks.<\/p>\n
Red Sox RHP Sonny Gray (12-2, 2.78 ERA) was set to start Thursday in the series finale. The A\u2019s had not announced a starter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"WEST SACRAMENTO, Calif.
