Rookie Mitchell Page stole the show from Jim Rice when the Athletics handed the Red Sox their ninth defeat in 12 games, 8-7. Page, who hit a triple in the first inning and three-run homer in the fifth, added a solo homer in the ninth to give the A's their sixth victory in a row. Rice hit three homers, boosting his total to 33, and a single, driving in four runs.
