OAKLAND, Calif. - Good riddance, August. The Boston Red Sox are surely ready for September after reaching new 2012 lows in Oakland. Ex-Boston player Brandon Moss had career highs of four hits, four RBIs and four runs, Josh Reddick hit his first career grand slam against his former club, and the surging, surprising Athletics routed the Red Sox 20-2 on Friday night to match their best winning streak of the season at seven. "Nothing to talk about. The score was 20-2!" second baseman Dustin Pedroia said. Boston finished the month at 9-20 for the teams worst August since a 9-21 showing in 2006. Another thump for the Red Sox the week they unloaded their roster. Josh Donaldson homered for the third straight game with a two-run shot and Moss also had a two-run drive to go with two RBI doubles to help back Brandon McCarthy (8-5) with a season high in runs. Reddick connected for his 28th homer in the seventh off Mark Melancon as the As scored their most runs since a 23-2 win over Texas on Sept. 30, 2000. They handed the Red Sox their most lopsided loss since a 22-1 defeat to the Yankees on June 19, 2000. The As had a season-best 19 hits and scored 20 runs for the fourth time in Oakland history, while Boston allowed 20 for the first time since Aug. 21, 2009, against the Yankees. Oakland has won six straight against Boston — the Red Soxs longest skid in the series since also dropping six straight in 1969. "It wasnt any fun for anyone, thats for sure, except for the guys on the other side," Red Sox manager Bobby Valentine said. George Kottaras had his first career two-homer game with a two-run drive and a solo shot on the way to a career-best five RBIs for Oakland (74-57), which matched its win total from 2011 and wrapped up an 18-10 August. The As hit a season-high five home runs a day after hitting four at Cleveland. Oaklands nine-run seventh inning was the clubs biggest since a nine-run frame last July 27 against Tampa Bay. Jonny Gomes drove in two runs on a night he helped honour the Little League World Series players from his hometown of Petaluma in Northern Californias wine country. "I dont know that I can ask for much more than 20 runs," As manager Bob Melvin said. Donaldson added his third RBI on an error in the seventh, but was lifted for pinch-runner Adam Rosales at third after feeling some tightness in his right hip flexor. He hoped to play Saturday. McCarthy won consecutive starts for the first time since June, and it was good timing with the As leading Baltimore by a game in the AL wild-card race heading into the final month. The right-hander missed all of July while on the disabled list for a second time this year nursing a strained throwing shoulder. Donaldson connected for his fifth home run of the year in Oaklands four-run second against Aaron Cook (3-8), who also surrendered an RBI double to Moss and run-scoring single by Gomes during the inning. "I feel bad for the other team having to pitch to that," McCarthy said. Cooks night was over after just 2 2-3 innings to match his shortest outing of the season. The right-hander was tagged for six runs and seven hits and fell to 0-3 over his last four starts. Jarrod Saltalamacchia hit a two-out solo homer in the fourth for Boston, which lost its fourth straight game after being swept by the Angels in Los Angeles. "It doesnt help the team any," he said of the latest loss. "I think a game like tonight, you dont see too many of. ... We didnt expect to be where we are right now." Oakland returned from a 6-1 road trip to notch another impressive win on a night when the Petaluma Little Leaguers, third in the Little League World Series, played catch with the As on the field before the game and were honoured in a pregame ceremony. While Oakland is expected to activate third baseman Brandon Inge from the disabled list when rosters expand Saturday, Melvin will have a tough time taking Donaldsons hot bat out of the lineup — as long as he is still healthy. Inge has been on the DL since Aug. 12 with a sprained right shoulder. Second baseman Cliff Pennington made a great catch on a shallow fly ball by Jacoby Ellsbury to end the third, sprinting backward to complete the play, then hit an RBI double in the seventh. Stephen Drew also got into the seventh-inning fun with an RBI single. Everybody on the Oakland roster scored. Pedroia extended his hitting streak to 11 games with a first-inning single for the new-look Red Sox, who last week sent a handful of former stars to Southern California to join the Los Angeles Dodgers as they try to make a push in the NL West against the first-place San Francisco Giants. Notes: Red Sox DH David Ortiz could rejoin the club at Seattle early next week or once the team gets back home after he received an injection in his strained right Achilles that landed him on the DL this past Monday. ... RHP A.J. Griffin (3-0) will be recalled by Oakland to start Saturday as LHP Brett Anderson gets an extra day of rest before pitching Sunday. ... Oakland leads the season series 6-1 and have won more than five games in a single year against the Red Sox for the first time since going 7-3 in 2006, the As last year in the playoffs. ... The 18 runs allowed by Boston matched its most of 2012, also April 17 against Texas.

Harding made two glove saves in the shootout and Mikko Koivu scored the deciding goal as the Minnesota Wild rallied for a 2-1 win over the Colorado Avalanche on Saturday night. "If Harding isnt as good as he is, we score a few more," lamented Matt Duchene, who had the Avalanches lone goal in the shootout. But he is that good, lowering his goals-against average to an NHL-best 1.49. Harding had 26 saves and then nonchalantly described his performance by saying, "I felt good." This was a big road win for the Wild after losing in San Jose and Anaheim. That they mustered this sort of come-from-behind effort in their third contest in four days made it all the more impressive to coach Mike Yeo. "After two periods, Im thinking to myself, Man, we look like we have nothing in the tank. We look tired," Yeo said. "There were plays or decisions we made that are usually kind of a result of fatigue. The way they stepped up in the third period, the way they kept themselves in the game, the way they battled to give ourselves a chance to score that goal -- that was a big character win." Trailing 1-0, Nino Niederreiter tied the game with 3:53 remaining in regulation when he deflected in a shot from Ryan Suter in front of the net. Perhaps only fair, since Colorado scored its lone goal in regulation when a shot clanked in off the skate of Maxime Talbot. "Two fluky goals," Avalanche coach Patrick Roy said. "They were not pretty goals, but at the same time part of the game." Koivus goal was nifty, sending a backhand just over Semyon Varlamov and just under the crossbar. Zach Parise also scored for the Wild in the shootout. So, is that the type of shot Koivu envisioned all along? "Im not going to tell you what I wanted to do because every time we go against these guys were in a shootout," Koivu said. After Duchene scorred to open the shootout, Harding stopped P.ddddddddddddA. Parenteau and Ryan OReilly to preserve the win. "I dont think we played bad hockey," Duchene said. "I thought we played a heck of a hockey game. Were having tough luck right now. We made a lot of good plays and the one that goes in for us hits a skate and goes in. I thought maybe the bounces were going to go our way." Midway through the second period, Cory Sarich unleashed a shot from just inside the blue line that deflected off of Talbots skate and past Harding. It was Talbots second goal for the Avs since being acquired from Philadelphia on Oct. 31. Niederreiter tied it up when his deflection trickled past Varlamov. Once again, the Avalanche struggled on the power play. Theyre now 0 for 26 over their last 10 games. It was a clean first period, with no goals and just one penalty on Minnesotas Jonas Brodin for interference. Harding came up big in the opening 20 minutes and stopped all 11 shots he faced, including a point-blank attempt from Cody McLeod. Defenceman Jan Hejda was back on the ice for Colorado after missing a week with a right knee injury. He had to be helped off the ice in Edmonton on Dec. 5 after losing an edge and going feet first heavily into the boards. "Wasnt as bad as how it looked on television," Hejda joked before the game. NOTES: The Wild juggled their lines after recalling C Erik Haula from Iowa of the American Hockey League on Friday. ... The Avalanche held a moment of silence before the game for Arapahoe High School staff, students and families who were affected by the shooting at the suburban Denver school on Friday. ... Avalanche D Ryan Wilson (back) missed his 17th straight game, but may be moving closer to a return. "We want him to have a couple of practices before he plays," Roy said. ... F John Mitchell played in his 300th game. "Its a good number," said Mitchell, who had an assist on Talbots goal. ... The Avs are 2-0-1 against the Wild this season. cheap nfl jerseys wholesale jerseys ' ' '
