OAKLAND, Calif.—Trevor Story had three hits and two RBIs, and Wilyer Abreu scored the go-ahead run on a double-play grounder in the 11th inning, sending the Boston Red Sox to a 5–4 victory over the Oakland Athletics in front of an announced crowd of 5,112 on Tuesday night.

Abreu began the 11th on second base as the automatic runner in extra innings. He advanced on Reese McGuire’s single, and scampered home on Tyler O’Neill’s 5-4-3 double play against Mitch Spence (0–1).
