After a rough start to the season, it is exciting to see the team now just 1 game out of the top spot and back to a .500 record. I know it may not last for long, but I will enjoy it for the moment! On the day, the Boston Red Sox (8-8) topped the Los Angeles Angels (4-11) by a 4 to 2 score. The announced crowd today was 17,237 fans.

Boston started Tanner Houck (1-1) was credited with the win after limiting the opposition to 2 earned runs on 4 hits, 2 walks, and 1 hit batsman in 6 1/3 innings of play; Game Score 61. Kenley Jansen (H 1) covered 1 2/3 innings of play in which he scattered 2 hits, 1 wild pitch, and 1 balk in his scoreless performance. Liam Hendriks (SV 4) closed out the final inning by striking out 2 of the 4 batters faced and inducing a flyball out to end the game. Taking the loss was Reid Detmers (2-2) who served up 4 earned runs on 9 hits, 5 walks, and 2 hit batsmen in 6 1/3 innings of play; Game Score 37. Carlos Estevez allowed 1 hit in his 1 2/3 innings of scoreless relief.
