Athletics starter Joe Boyle pitched five innings against Pittsburgh Monday night and gave up one hit with four walks and four strikeouts.OAKLAND — Joe Boyle and two relievers shut down the Pittsburgh Pirates and the Athletics played a fundamentally efficient game on offense Monday night in a 5-1 win at the Coliseum to kick off a 10-game homestand.
Yet the only run the Pirates scored came in a 26-pitch first inning that included a pair of walks and leadoff batter Ke’Bryan Hayes scoring on a wild pitch. Hayes had the only hit Boyle surrendered on a ground single to right to open the game. The Athletics took a 3-1 lead against Falter in the fourth with an inning that would warm the heart of any execution-minded batting coach.
