Game 98: Boston 3 Los Angeles 11

Boston (57-41)020100000351
L.A. Angels (58-38) «30014300x11140


Game Recap

The game started out as a disaster right from the beginning when Buchholz struggled to get out of the inning, allowing 3 runs that could have easily been more.

Youk got a 2-run homer in the 2nd to make the score 3-2. Man Ram also got a dinger in the 4th inning. Buchholz finally settled down and went onto cruise control, well, until the 5th inning. They could have gotten out of that inning without any runs, but a costly error by Cora cost the sox 4 runs to make it 8-3.

Javier Lopez came in to pitch the 6th, but got hammered by the angels, giving up 3 runs to make it 11-3. During that inning, Maicer Izturis popped up to left field that Man Ram ran after to make the catch that he ended up missing, then got up, tripped, the ball got stuck under him, and he just stares as Izturis ran towards third for the triple.

Timlin and Hansen came in for the rest of the game to pitch successful innings to keep the score 11-3.

Pedroia continued his red hot July going 2-4 with a double. Man Ram also made up for that big time mistake going 2-3 with a homer and a walk.

Next Game

Beckett will take the mound to try to make the series even again against Jon Garland at a 3:55 PM fox game.
