Mead’s Debut Ends in Injury | Oakland Athletics News

Curtis Mead’s Red Sox debut ended in agony—hit by a pitch in the hand during the fourth inning, forcing his exit and leaving the team scrambling for a replacement. Traded just days prior, Mead had been hitting 17 homers and driving in 48 runs before this setback. Despite the blow, the Red Sox rallied for a 4-2 win, fueled by Ceddanne Rafaela’s grand slam in the sixth inning—their first hit of the game. The victory snaps a losing streak and lifts Boston to 55-50, while the Athletics sink to 44-62. Tonight’s game could be pivotal for both teams—and for Mead’s recovery.
