Janie McCauley of The Associated Press reports:
Khris Davis hit his fifth home run over Oakland’s first seven games, Ramon Laureano connected and also saved a run with a perfect throw home from center field, and the Oakland Athletics scored their first five runs via homer to beat the struggling Boston Red Sox 7-0 on Monday night.
Davis led the majors with 48 homers last season, and he went deep again leading off the second against David Price (0-1), who then struck out three straight before giving up Laureano’s leadoff drive the next inning.
Chad Pinder added a two-run homer in the sixth for the A’s to back Aaron Brooks (1-0). The right-hander tossed six scoreless innings with six strikeouts and a walk to continue a stretch of stellar outings by A’s starters. They have given up just one run over 30 innings the past five games since the team returned from an 0-2 trip to Tokyo, all allowing three hits or fewer. There has been a pair of shutouts, too.
