After the less than exciting play against the Pirates the Red Sox were looking for a solid all around game against a good Athletics team. With the exception of one key statistic, we played a very solid game. Once again our defense played some great baseball with some highlight plays led by Jonah's diving catch. His great catch stopped an Athletics rally in its tracks. But the energy displayed on defense didn't carry over to our offense. We fell short in getting our base runners home. We left 10 players stranded on base, 9 of them were in scoring position. We will need our bats to come alive Monday against a very good, first place Brewers team.
