Red Sox Rally, Now 9-0 Against Angels In 2010
[photogallerylink id=39289 align=right]Bill Hall and Adrian Beltre homered before the Red Sox took the lead without even hitting the ball, scoring runs on a wild pitch and a hit batsman to take the lead and beat the Los Angeles Angels 7-5 on Wednesday night.
Boston improved to 9-0 against the Angels this season and John Lackey (11-7) won for the third straight time against his former team. The former Los Angeles right-hander allowed five runs and 10 hits in seven innings, picking up the win when the Red Sox overcame a 5-4 deficit in the bottom of the seventh.
Jonathan Papelbon got three outs for his 30th save.
Kevin Jepsen (2-3) threw a bases-loaded wild pitch and, after an intentional walk reloaded the bases, hit pinch-hitter Daniel Nava to bring in the go-ahead run.
