Red Sox fall again to Oakland A’s

- GIANTS 4, ANGELS 2:

OAKLAND, Calif. — Khris Davis hit a tie-breaking, threerun homer off David Price with two outs in the eighth inning and the Oakland Athletics beat Boston 4-1 on Sunday, dealing the Red Sox consecutiv­e losses for the first time under new manager Alex Cora.

Boston had won its first six series before losing two of three at the Coliseum, where they were no-hit Saturday by Sean Manaea. They still have the best record in the majors at 17-4.

Davis drove in all four runs for the A’s, and Blake Treinen (1-1) retired five batters to win.

YANKEES 5, BLUE JAYS 1: In New York, Gleyber Torres went 0 for 4 with a strikeout, double-play grounder, popup and flyout in his big league debut, for the youthful Yankees. New York used a starting lineup that didn’t include a player 30 or older for the first time since Sept. 29, 1989.

Luis Severino (4-1) allowed three hits and struck out six in seven innings, and David Robertson and Aroldis Chapman finished the four-hitter.

Didi Gregorius homered, No. 9 batter Austin Romine laced a two-run double and rookie Miguel Andujar raised his average to .308 with a career-high four hits, including an RBI double.

In Anaheim, Calif., Brandon Belt hung in for a 21-pitch, 12-minute, 45-second at-bat before flying out and later homered.

Belt fouled off 11 straight pitches and 16 in all from rookie righthande­r Jaime Barria (1-1) in the first inning in the majors’ longest at-bat since records began in 1988. Belt singled and scored in the third and launched a leadoff homer against Blake Parker in the fifth. Belt saw 38 pitches in his first three at-bats, then hit the first pitch his last two times up.

Johnny Cueto (2-0) allowed two hits in six shutout innings.

Shohei Ohtani batted cleanup for the first time and went 1 for 4.

CUBS 9, ROCKIES 7: In Denver, Nolan Arenado was initially called safe by umpire Cory Blaser when he tried to score on a bases-loaded pitch that bounced to the backstop, then was ruled out when a video review concluded reliever Brandon Morrow applied the tag on a throw from catcher Willson Contreras.

Cubs star Kris Bryant was hit on the head with a 96 mph pitch from German Marquez in the first inning and left the game. Cubs spokesman Peter Chase said Bryant passed tests and had no sign of a concussion.
