Oakland Athletics (6-4) 0 0 0 2 0 0 0 0 0 2 5 0

Guerrero, Red Sox Wreck Athletics, 10-2
The exploits of left fielder Vladimir Guerrero, who finished 4th in the AL in triples with 6 in 1998, helped the Boston Red Sox defeat the Oakland Athletics, 10-2. Guerrero went 2 for 4 with 2 home runs, while adding 4 RBI and scoring twice. The save went to Mariano Rivera, his 1st this season. Oakland drops to 6-4.

The Athletics had been locked in a 2-2 tie with the Red Sox going into the bottom of the sixth inning. That changed quickly when the two-time All-Star Reggie L Sanders came to the plate. Sanders hit a 2-run double on a 0-2 fastball from Oakland hurler Mike Sirotka. It was Sanders's 2nd double of the year.

Oakland manager Matthew Edwards called the blowout loss "ugly."
