Red Sox Streak Ends, A's Snap Losing Skid | Boston News

The Red Sox’s historic bid for two 10+ game winning streaks in one season ended in heartbreak with a 7-3 loss to the Athletics, snapping their nine-game run and denying them franchise history. The A’s, fresh off ending their own nine-game skid, capitalized on a shaky Red Sox lineup — including a hitless debut from returning first baseman Willson Contreras — with key doubles from Jonah Heim and Donovan Walton. Gage Jump pitched six strong innings, while Tyler Soderstrom and Henry Bolte added solo homers. Despite a struggling bullpen, the A’s held Boston to just one run in the final three innings. With J.T. Ginn set to start Sunday, the Red Sox face another critical decision as they chase legacy — and avoid the ghosts of missed opportunities.
