Coco Crisp went 3-for-4 with a homer to back A.J. Griffin\'s efficient start Saturday and the Oakland Athletics stayed hot with a 7-1 win over Boston. Crisp led off the bottom of first with a solo shot, putting the A\'s ahead to stay, and Brandon Inge delivered a two-run double to highlight a four-run third that iced the contest. Chris Carter also went deep for American League wild card-leading Oakland, which won an eighth straight game for the first time since 2006. The A\'s have outscored the Bosox 27-3 over the first two contests of their three-game series. Griffin (4-0) came off the disabled list to limit Boston to one run on three hits over seven innings. The right-hander didn\'t issue a walk and struck out five. Felix Doubront (10-7) was lit up for five runs on six hits in a three-inning start for the Red Sox. Dustin Pedroia knocked in Boston\'s only run.
