Coco Crisp singled in Alberto Callaspo in the 10th inning and the Oakland Athletics beat the Boston Red Sox 2-1 on Saturday to extend their Major League Baseball winning streak to five games.

Callaspo drew a leadoff walk against reliever Edward Mujica (2-3) and was sacrificed to second. Red Sox closer Koji Uehara replaced Mujica before Crisp lined his first pitch into right field. Boston right fielder Brock Holt made a strong throw but Callaspo slid home with the game-winner.

It's the second game-ending hit for Crisp this season and seventh of his career.
