Boston Red SoxvsLos Angeles Angels
BOS 8/LAA 1
Things to say
The Red Sox beat the Angels 8-1 at Angel Stadium.
01
opener
Yeah, Boston rolled the Angels 8-1. Never really a game. The Sox jumped on them early and just kept adding on.
02
key player
The Boston starter was filthy, got into his stuff and had the Angels flailing. That's the version of him that changes their season.
03
hot take
One run at home? The Angels lineup is a mess. That heart of the order goes cold and there's nobody behind it.
04
deep cut
Angels are 36-54 now and it's only getting worse. You could see the bullpen mailing it in once it hit 8-1.
05
exit
Anyway, Boston's trending back up. Curious if they can carry it into the next series.
The recap
Boston came into Anaheim on getaway day and turned it into a laugher, 8-1. The Sox bats got into everything early and never let the Angels back in the room, while the arm carried it deep and kept LAA off the board except for one lonely run.
That's the kind of tidy road win where the bullpen barely had to break a sweat. Anaheim's now 36-54 and just looks stuck in the mud.
