James Paxton Red Sox try to keep it rolling vs. A's

The Boston Red Sox will aim for their fourth consecutive win when they continue a three-game weekend series against the visiting Oakland Athletics on Saturday afternoon. Boston's recent form -- winning three straight and six of seven -- has vaulted it three games above the .500 mark, despite still sitting last in the American League East standings. "We just want to play good baseball," Red Sox manager Alex Cora said. Left-hander James Paxton (4-1, 2.70 ERA) will make Saturday's start after being reinstated from the paternity list before the series opener.
