Lou Gehrig hit a 2-run homer in the 1st to give Boston an early lead after a Harmon Killebrew error gave Oakland an unearned run in the top of the inning. After allowing the homerun to Gehrig, Oakland&#8217;s Bert Blyleven retired the next 15 hitters before allowing 2 more hits and 2 runs in the 6th. Cal Ripken led off the 7th with a triple, but Blyleven got Carlton Fisk to flyout to shallow right and struck out Charlie Gehringer and Killebrew to end the inning. Meanwhile, Pedro Martinez allowed just 5 hits and 1 earned run while striking out 8 in 8 innings for the Splinters. The Jacks put two on in the 9th, but Rollie Fingers struck out George Sisler to pick up his 3rd save. Boston is now 16-10, while the Jacks fell to 12-14. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/baseballmaelstrom.com\/?sp_event=565\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Oakland @ Boston &#8211; 5\/2\/22<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Boston Splinters increased their lead in the American League with a 4-2 win over the Oakland Jacks in the first game after the All-Star break.
