With two out in the seventh inning, the A's erupted for all their runs to gain a 4-3 victory over the Red Sox, whose lead in the A. L. East was cut to 5½ games when the Yankees beat the Mariners. In the A's outburst, Dave Revering doubled for one run, Mitchell Page singled for another and Bruce Robinson then drove in a pair with a single.
