OAKLAND, Calif.  — Kevin Kouzmanoff hit a two-out RBI single in the 10th inning and the Oakland Athletics rallied to beat the Boston Red Sox 5-4 on Tuesday night.

The Red Sox took a 4-0 lead in the second inning and the A’s tied it in the third. Neither team scored again until the 10th.

Daric Barton singled with one out and advanced to second when plate umpire Bob Davidson called a balk on Ramon Ramirez (0-3). The Red Sox then intentionally walked Kurt Suzuki before Dustin Richardson came in and struck out Adam Rosales.

Kouzmanoff then lined a single to right field off Michael Bowden and Barton slid in safely ahead of J.D. Drew’s throw home.

Andrew Bailey (1-3) pitched two innings for the win. A’s relievers combined for 5 1-3 scoreless innings.
