OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — David Ortiz singled twice and drove in three runs, David Price won his fifth consecutive start and the Boston Red Sox beat the Oakland Athletics 16-2 on Friday night.

Travis Shaw homered and had five RBIs, Hanley Ramirez added three RBIs while Xander Bogaerts doubled and scored three runs to help the Red Sox move within one game of first-place Toronto in the AL East. Boston (75-59) moved within three wins of matching their total of last season.

Price (14-8) was mostly dominant while pitching seven solid innings against the overmatched A’s. The left-hander fanned five of the first seven he faced, gave up two runs and finished with seven strikeouts and three walks.

Over his last five starts Price is 5-0 with a 2.06 ERA.

Stephen Vogt had an RBI double for the A’s. Oakland, which has lost eight straight to Boston, dropped a season-high 20 games under .500 (57-77).

Ortiz hit run-scoring singles in the first and fifth innings and added a sacrifice fly in the sixth to push his RBI total to 105, two behind league-leading Edwin Encarnacion of Toronto. He walked in the third one batter before Mookie Betts’ sacrifice fly off Zach Neal (2-4).

Neal, pressed into duty when starter Andrew Triggs left with back tightness after one inning, allowed five runs over 3 2/3 innings.

Shaw doubled in Ramirez to cap Boston’s four-run fifth then hit his 15th home run of the season in a six-run sixth, a three-run shot off J.B. Wendelken. Shaw also doubled in rookie Yoan Moncada in the eighth, marking the fourth time this season he’s had five RBIs in a game.

The A’s did all of their scoring in the fourth. Billy Butler had a sacrifice fly and Stephen Vogt added an RBI double.

MONCADA’S DEBUT

Moncada, the highly touted Cuban-born prospect who received a record $31.5 million signing bonus when he inked a deal with Boston last year, made his major league debut and drew a five-pitch walk in the eighth after being called up from Double-A Portland before the game. Moncada struck out swinging in the ninth.
