Jump (5-7) gave up two runs and six hits over six innings for the Athletics, who won for only the second time in 14 games. Jonah Heim and Donovan Walton had two RBIs each while Jacob Wilson contributed two hits and two runs. Andruw Monasterio drove in two runs for the Red Sox, who had their nine-game winning streak halted. It was just their fourth loss in 31 games. Red Sox starter Jake Bennett (7-5) gave up four runs and five hits over 5 1/3 innings with three walks and five strikeouts. Caleb Durbin singled in a run in the ninth for the Red Sox, who loaded the bases with two out against Hogan Harris to bring the tying run to the plate. But Harris induced Eli White to line out to center and picked up his 10th save. The Athletics took a 3-2 lead in the fifth on Heim's two-run single off the Green Monster in left field. Walton extended the lead to 5-2 in the sixth when he came off the bench to deliver a two-run ground-rule double. The Red Sox had runners on first and second with one out in the bottom of the sixth, but Jump fanned Jarren Duran and Connor Wong. Soderstrom's solo homer in the seventh made it 6-2. His 19th home run of the season came on a drive into the right-field stands, estimated at 413 feet, off reliever Raymond Burgos. Bolte homered to center leading off the ninth, also off Burgos, for his fifth homer of the year. Boston took a 2-0 lead in the first on Monasterio's two-out, two-run single. It stretched his hitting streak to 10 games and on-base stretch to 20 games. The Red Sox stole three bases in the inning, two by Jahmai Jones and one by Durbin. The Athletics got on the board to make it 2-1 in the fourth on Brian Serven's soft infield RBI single in front of the plate with two out. The tapper scored Wilson -- who led off the inning with a double -- from third. The Red Sox outhit the Athletics 10-8. Jones went 3-for-5 with two runs scored while Nick Sogard went 3-for-4. Boston left a dozen men on base and went 2-for-14 with runners in scoring position. --Field Level Media Athletics snap 9-game skid, end Red Sox's 9-game winning streak Athletics snap 9-game skid, end Red Sox's 9-game winning streak Field Level Media 9th August 2026, 09:55 GMT+11 (Photo credit: Bob DeChiara-Imagn Images) Gage Jump posted a career-high 11 strikeouts while Tyler Soderstrom and Henry Bolte homered as the visiting Athletics snapped a nine-game losing streak with a 7-3 win over the Boston Red Sox on Saturday.
