Wade Miley held Oakland to two runs over 7 1/3 innings to earn a win for the Red Sox on Friday and even his record at 5-5.
Miley allowed six hits and a walk, striking out six. He lowered his ERA to 4.68.
"Wade was very good," said Red Sox manager John Farrell. "A lot of strikes, he attacked the strike zone. ... We're able to play very good defense behind him, particularly in the infield, and I think a lot of that has to do with the pace in which he works."
Miley's next start will be next Friday, against Toronto.
