Red Sox Rally Falls Short, Lose 6-3 to Angels
Sunday, June 25, 2017
The Red Sox drop to 41-33 on the season.
Angels Take Commanding Lead
With the game tied at one in the fourth, the Angels took advantage of a Xander Bogaerts throwing error that allowed Danny Espinosa to reach back.
Espinosa would then steal second and scored on an Eric Young Jr. double.
That would give LA a 2-1 lead.
LA would go up 3-1 in the sixth on a Luis Valbuena sacrifice fly, before adding two more runs in the 7th and another in the 9th to go up 6-1.
Red Sox Missed Opportunity
Trailing 6-1 in the bottom of the 9th, Boston’s Hanley Ramirez hit an RBI double to score Bogaerts and then added another run on when Benintendi scored on a wild pitch.
Now trailing by three, the Red Sox had the bases loaded with two out in the ninth inning , but Blake Parker struck out Boston pinch hitter Chris Young to end the game.
Series Concludes
The Red Sox and Angels conclude their series on Sunday at 1:35 p.m.
The pitching matchup is Boston’s Chris Sale against LA’s Jose Berrios.
