With Blackburn scratched Oakland A's get roughed up in 10-3 loss at Red Sox

The A's already have the highest ERA in the majors. Losing a starter 90 minutes before first pitch won't help a pitching staff, either. Saturday's scheduled starter Paul Blackburn was scratched with an illness, emergency starter Austin Pruitt gave up four runs in 1 2/3 innings as the A's lost a second straight in Boston, this time 10-3 to the Red Sox. Manny Piña and Brent Rooker each hit a solo homer for Oakland, which has the major league's worst record.
