Payton Tolle Strikes Out 14 as Red Sox Rout A’s for Ninth Straight Win

Tolle became the first Red Sox pitcher to reach 14 strikeouts since Chris Sale in 2019 as Boston scored 13 runs.

  • On Friday, the Boston Red Sox defeated the Athletics 13-1 in Boston, with pitcher Payton Tolle striking out a career-high 14 batters in six innings.
  • The Red Sox extended their winning streak to nine consecutive games, joining the seventh team since 1920 to win 27 or more games in a 30-game span.
  • Jarren Duran's two-run homer over the Green Monster sparked a five-run second inning, while Wilyer Abreu contributed three RBIs across multiple innings of offensive dominance.
  • Tyler Soderstrom's solo homer in the fifth ended Tolle's no-hit bid, though the pitcher's 14-strikeout performance matched the dominance Chris Sale achieved in 2019.
  • Athletics LHP Gage Jump is scheduled to start the middle game against Red Sox LHP Jake Bennett, continuing the series in Boston.
