Oakland A’s right-hander Paul Blackburn might not have been quite as efficient Thursday as he was in his previous start, which was arguably the best of his Major League career.
But Blackburn and the A’s liked the end result a whole lot more, as they ended an otherwise dismal road trip on a positive note.
Christian Bethancourt’s two-RBI single came as part of a three-run third inning, as the A’s ended a three-game losing skid with a 4-3 victory over the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park.
