The Athletics extended their winning streak to eight games on Saturday night, but suffered a loss when Brandon Inge injured his right shoulder.

He suffered the injury on a throw from third base. He stayed in the game and hit a double in the next inning to help Oakland beat Boston 7-1.

Inge will likely have season-ending surgery sometime in the next week.

He had just come off the disabled list in the afternoon

"I probably didn't tell them how bad it hurt," Inge said. "Every time I throw the ball, it kills me. But I just wanted to make sure on a year like this I didn't leave anything on the table. I know that I can kind of be at peace with myself knowing that I literally gave everything that I had to offer to this team. I'm at peace with it."
