The Red Sox (82-69) dropped a 2-1 decision to the Athletics in front of a crowd of 35,886 at Fenway Park Tuesday night. The Sox are 2-3 on their current 6-game homestand and 4-9 over their last 13 games in Boston. With the win, the Athletics have won 5 in a row. ---- Early Is A Go: Connelly Early was terrific in making his 1st career start at Fenway in Tuesday night's opener against the Athletics. Early left with a 1-0 lead and a runner on in the 6th and was charged with the run after Greg Weissert game up a game-tying, 2-out RBI Double to pinch-hitter Tyler Soderstrom. Early in his 1st 2 Big League starts has given up 1 earned run over 10.1 Innings. He's walked only 1 and struck out 18. He's allowed 10 hits in the 2 starts, both vs. the Athletics, and they've all been Singles. ----- Sox at the DISH: The Red Sox had the bases loaded and no one in the 2nd Inning but failed to score. Ceddanne Rafaela struck out and Romy Gonzalez hit into a 6-4-3 Inning-Ending Double Play. Sox got on the board against Jeffrey Springs in the 3rd with Rob Refsnyder reaching with a 2-out walk and scoring on an RBI Double from Carlos Narvaez. The Red Sox managed only 3 hits, all Singles, from the 5th Inning on and went 0-for-7 with Runners in Scoring Position. ----- #'s of the Night: --The Red Sox were held to 1 run for the 4th time in the month of September and for the 21st time this season Tuesday night. --Romy Gonzalez went 0-for-5 and hit into 2 Double Plays including 1 in the 9th to end the game and his 14-game hit streak came to an end. --Trevor Story stole 2nd in the 1st and stole 2nd again in the 5th to go 30-for-30 in stolen base attempts on the season. The 30-for-30 to start a season ties (with 3 other players) an MLB Record. ----- What's On Tap?: The Athletics and Red Sox play Game 2 of their 3-Game Series Tuesday night at Fenway.
