The Athletics beat the Red Sox 6-2 on Sunday, pushing their winning streak to nine games.

They are now tied with the Yankees for the second-best record (76-57) in the American League, with the Rangers just three games ahead of them and 29 to play.

"That's crazy," Brett Anderson said. "If you had predicted that early on, I don't know if anyone would've believed it. But everything's working well -- offense, defense, pitching, and when that's happening, good things are going to happen."

The winning streak is tied for the eighth longest in Oakland history.

"It's what we've done this whole streak," Josh Reddick said. "Everyone is contributing."
