Athletics manager Bob Melvin is already starting to run out of superlatives to describe Scott Kazmir. The left-hander has been so effective in his first season with Oakland that Melvin might need to break out a thesaurus when talking about the veteran pitcher. Kazmir pitched seven innings to win his fourth straight start, Yoenis Cespedes hit his 14th home run and the A's beat the Boston Red Sox 4-2 on Thursday night.
