Chapman allows first hit since July 23 as A's win
"Aroldis Chapman allowed his first hit since July 23, and the Athletics rallied in the ninth inning to beat the Boston Red Sox, 5-4, avoiding a series sweep. Shea Langeliers led off the ninth with a double off Chapman (4-3), who had gone a span of 50 batters and a franchise-record 17 appearances, the third-longest streak in MLB history since 1901."
"After Langeliers advanced to second on a flyout, Lawrence Butler won it with an RBI single on a 100.2 mph fastball with a 1-2 count for the A's, who handed the Red Sox their major league-high 12th walk-off loss of the year. Nick Kurtz led off the second inning with a 357-foot shot to left field off Payton Tolle to give the A's a 2-1 lead."
"A's rookie Jacob Wilson went 1 for 4 and is hitting .319, just behind major league leader Aaron Judge of the New York Yankees, who started the night at .321. Langeliers hit his career-high 30th homer, a solo shot in the first. That run snapped a 19-inning scoreless streak for the A's, who were blanked in the first two games of the series."
