Tolle has career-high 14 strikeouts, Red Sox beat A's 13-1 for 9th straight win‎

Payton Tolle struck out a career-high 14 in six innings, Wilyer Abreu drove in three runs, and the Boston Red Sox won their ninth game in a row with a 13-1 rout of the Athletics on Friday night. The Red Sox are just the seventh team since 1920 to win 27 or more in a 30-game span, and the only team to begin their run under .500. Tolle (7-6) was the first Red Sox pitcher to fan 14 since Chris Sale on May 8, 2019.
