Angels rout Red Sox 6-4 with five home runs at Fenway

Angels Strike First

The Los Angeles Angels took control of the game early against the Boston Red Sox, winning 6-4 in front of a crowd of 35,428 at Fenway Park. The visiting team’s offense was anchored by Neto, who delivered a crucial three-run home run to left field in the third inning. The drive of 375 feet scored Peraza and Guzman, giving the Angels a comfortable 3-0 lead. The momentum continued as Siri followed with a two-run homer to right center, allowing Trout to score and extending the Angels’ advantage to 5-0.

Red Sox Rally Falls Short

Boston attempted to mount a comeback in the middle innings but could not overcome the early deficit. Anthony hit a 418-foot home run to right in the fifth inning, bringing in Duran to narrow the gap to 6-2. The Red Sox added another run in the sixth when Abreu launched a 408-foot solo shot to center. Despite these efforts, Boston’s offense remained stifled after the fifth inning, allowing the Angels to maintain their lead through the bulk of the game.

Late-Game Tension

The Red Sox made one final push in the ninth inning. Eaton singled to right field, enabling Duran to score and cut the deficit to 6-4. However, the Angels’ bullpen held firm to preserve the victory. Ryan Johnson earned the win, pitching six innings while allowing five hits and three earned runs while striking out five. Johnson received help from a four-pitcher relief corps, including Ben Joyce, who recorded the save with one hit and one earned run allowed in one inning.

Final Records

Jake Bennett took the loss for Boston, enduring a rough outing of 5.1 innings with nine hits and six earned runs allowed. He was followed by Wyatt Olds, Jovani Moran, and Alec Gamboa, who combined to limit further damage. The final score of 6-4 improves the Angels’ record to 56-90, while the Red Sox drop to 80-67 after the defeat.
