Jim Palmer held the Jacks to 2 runs on 7 hits in 8 innings. Rod Carew drove in both runs. Ted Williams hit a 2-run double in the 7th off Mike Mussina to put the Splinters on top. Mussina allowed 3 runs in 7 innings for Boston. Rollie Fingers pitched a perfect 9th for just his 4th save of the season. Boston&#8217;s games are usually not close enough for the save. The win improved Boston to 21-16. They&#8217;re now just 1\/2 game behind Detroit in the American League. Oakland fell to 16-21 with the loss. Derek Jeter went 3 for 4 in his 1st start of the season. Robin Yount took a rare game off. Boston&#8217;s Carlton Fisk left the game in the 5th after injuring himself running to 1st. He&#8217;s not expected to miss more game time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/baseballmaelstrom.com\/?sp_event=570\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Oakland @ Boston (Game 2) &#8211; 5\/14\/22<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Boston Splinters came from behind to sweep their doubleheader with the Oakland Jacks at Fenway Park.
