In a game shortened to 5½ innings because of rain, the Red Sox blanked the A's, 6-0. The Sox scored once in the second inning on Jerry Remy's single, and Jim Rice and Dave Stapleton belted solo homers in the third. The victory was Boston's fifth in a row and handed Oakland its sixth straight loss. [The Sporting News]
