A five-run second sinks the A's in a 7-3 loss to the Red Sox

A five-run second inning was more than the Oakland Athletics could overcome in a 7-3 loss to the Boston Red Sox. Sam Long got the start as an opener for Friday's game and allowed a one-out single to Justin Turner, but nothing else in a scoreless first inning. The A's went down in order in the first against Red Sox opener Brennan Bernardino. Brent Rooker struck out to start the second, but JJ Bleday connected for a ground rule double to right.
