The Oakland A's went 4-3 versus the Boston Red Sox in 2017, with six of the seven contests being decided by four or more runs. It was the first time since 2014 that the A's won a season series from the Red Sox.

The Red Sox (16-2, .889) are the first team to start 16-2 or better in the first 18 games of a season since the 1987 Brewers (17-1, .944). The last team to start 17-2 or better through 19 games was also that 1987 Milwaukee club (17-2, .895).

The A's defeated the White Sox 12-11 in 14 innings on Wednesday. It was Oakland's second walkoff victory of 2018, the other coming against the Angels in the season opener (also in extra innings).

Jed Lowrie had three runs batted in against the White Sox on Wednesday. It was his fifth consecutive game with at least one RBI. The last Oakland player to record a longer streak was Lowrie himself; he had six straight games with 1+ RBI, September 26, 2014-April 6, 2016 (minimum 1 PA in each game during streak) (Lowrie played for the Astros in 2015).

Chris Sale has thrown 5+ innings while allowing no more than one run in each of his four starts this season. The last Red Sox pitcher to go 5+ innings while allowing no more than one run in his first 5+ starts of a season was Dutch Leonard, who had a six-game streak, April 17-May 14, 1914 (streaks exclude any relief app).

Kendall Graveman has struggled this month, going 0-3 with a 10.22 (14/12.1) ERA and a .382 (21/55) opponent batting average in his three starts. The most consecutive starts Graveman has ever lost in his career is five (April 25-May 19, 2016).

OAKLAND, Calif. -- The Oakland Athletics take a step up in class when they attempt to improve upon their four-game winning streak Friday night in the opener of a three-game series against the Boston Red Sox.
The A's will send staff ace Kendall Graveman (0-3, 9.87 ERA) in search of his first win of the season against Red Sox left-hander Drew Pomeranz, who is expected to be activated off the disabled list in time to make his first start of 2018.

A's hope to build on four-game win streak vs. torrid Red Sox

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP)  Even with slugger J.D. Martinez getting a rare day off, the Boston Red Sox had more than enough power in their lineup to keep the best start in franchise history going.
Mitch Moreland hit a grand slam, Jackie Bradley Jr. added a three-run homer and the streaking Red Sox won their eighth in a row, beating the Oakland Athletics 7-3 on Friday night.
