The Boston Red Sox almost did it again.
Two nights after rallying from behind five times to defeat the Chicago White Sox in 13 innings, Boston was down by four runs to the Athletics going into the bottom of the ninth with their nine-game winning streak at stake.
Facing A's closer Hogan Harris, Jahmai Jones hit a one-out double. But Harris then struck out Ceddanne Rafaela, getting him to chase a fastball that darted inside way out of the strike zone. Caleb Durbin kept the inning alive for the Red Sox, hitting a middle-middle slider for a single to drive in Jones.
Was it happening again?
Willson Contreras followed up with a single as Harris again left a pitch in the middle of the zone. Perhaps trying to overcompensate, the A's closer then stayed largely out of the zone but walked Andruw Monasterio as a result.
