The Boston Red Sox continued their successful run and were able to further expand their dream balance at the start of the season. In the duel against Oakland Athletics (9-11) on Friday evening, the team from Massachusetts scored the 17th victory in the 19th game with a 7:3.
Center Fielder Jackie Bradley Jr. landed a 3-run homoon in the second inning and brought Boston back after a 3-0 lead for the A’s.
First Baseman Mitch Moreland provided the 7:3 final score with a Grand Slam in the sixth match section. It was already the fifth Grand Slam of the current season for the Red Sox, they did not manage a single one for the entire 2017 season.
Boston have generally shown themselves to be in a good mood for long balls in recent games: in the three-game series against the Los Angeles Angels, they have won a whopping eleven homers, the third most in such a series ever.
With Friday night’s victory, the Red Sox are the fifth team in the history of MLB to start the season with a score of 17-2. Two of the previous four teams, the Detroit Tigers of 1984 and the Brooklyn Dodgers of 1955, ended the season as World Series champions.
