August 6, 2007: Red Sox 7 Angels 3 (10)

Posted by spooky at 10:51 PM




The Red Sox remain perfect on their west coast swing with a 7-3 win in 10 innings. Curt Schilling made his return from the DL and gave the Sox 6 innings, giving up 3 runs on 2 home runs. The Sox got isolated runs in 3 separate innings, the tying run coming on a 7th inning Kevin Youkilis home run. The Sox left the bases loaded in both the 7th and 8th, with Jason Varitek striking out in the 7th and David Ortiz grounding into a double play in the 8th. Fortunately, Mike Timlin and Hideki Okajima held the Angels at bay with 3 shoutout innings.

In the 10th, Varitek led off with a walk. I attempted a bunt with Coco Crisp, but it was misplayed by Angels 3B Chone Figgins and the runners ended up on 2nd and 3rd. With lefty Darren Oliver on the mound, I pinch hit for Julio Lugo with Wily Mo Pena. The Angels countered with righty Justin Speier, but Pena still greeted him with a shot to the left field seats. The Sox would get another run in the inning on an Ortiz homer, and new face Eric Gagne would get the 3 outs in the bottom of the 10th to preserve the win.

WEB GEMS- Bot 1st: Mike Lowell robbed Chone Figgins of a base hit.
 
Designated hitter David Ortiz jacked one out of the ballyard and had 2 RBI as
the incredible Boston Red Sox defeated the Los Angeles(AL) Angels in 10
innings by a score of 7 to 3 at Angels Stadium.
 
The game was deadlocked at 3 after nine full innings.  Boston won it in the
10th inning.  The highlight belonged to Wily Mo Pena who deflated the crowd
as he lost the ball over the fence for three runs (his 2nd of the season).
Boston ended up with 13 hits for the game while Los Angeles(AL) had 9.  
 
The win was credited to Hideki Okajima(3-0) who went 1 and 1/3 innings
allowing no runs. Darren Oliver(4-2) ended up with the loss in relief.  He
allowed 2 runs and no hits in 1 and 2/3 innings.  
 
Boston continued their winnings ways improving their record to a division
leading 82-30.  They are 8-2 in their last ten games.  Los Angeles(AL) can't
seem to snap out of their recent 'funk'.  Now they have a miserable 2-8
record over the last couple weeks.
