April 16th: Red Sox 4, Angels 3
Boston (AP)-- The Sox completed their sweep of the Angels here today with a 4-3 victory behind Dice-K's 3rd victory of the season. The Sox offense all came in the 4th inning as they scored all their 4 runs there. Drew had a 2 run homer, Manny an RBI double, and Lugo scored on a throwing error on an Ortiz single to left. The Angels wouldn't make it easy on the Red Sox as Napoli drove in a run in the 6th bringing the score to 4-1. Joel Pineiro would come on in the 9th to finish the game off and finished it in Bob Wickman-esque style allowing 3 hits and 2 runs on a 2 RBI double by Garret Anderson but got out of the jam with an ugly save, his 6th of the season.
The Red Sox will travel to Toronto to face the Blue Jays next.
