Meanwhile, Oakland led 4-3 into the 5th inning when Stan Coveleski allowed 4 straight RBI singles with 2 outs.

Rollie Fingers had picked up the save in the prior 3 straight games. Frank Thomas was 2 for 4 with his league-leading 7th homer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/baseballmaelstrom.com\/POPsS2\/Scoresheets\/04-10-2023_OAK_BOS.png\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Jacks @ Splinters - 4\/10\/23\">Jacks @ Splinters &#8211; 4\/10\/23<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For the 2nd straight game, the Oakland Jacks mounted a comeback that fell just short, as the Boston Splinters won 8-7 to take their winning streak to 9 games.
