Boston Red Sox will attempt to end the three-game losing streak on Tuesday when they face Los Angeles Angels in the second competition of the three-game series in Anahim, California.
Boston’s dirty drama continued on Monday during Los Angeles’ 9–5 victory. Red Sax made an error, which placed the Go-forward run in the eighth innings on a third basis. Angels also worked 11 walks from Red Sox Pickers.
Red Sox leads the major league with 69 errors in 80 matches this season. Boston conceded eight unarmed runs in the three-game series against San Francisco in the last weekend.
Boston also ran into a double play in the fifth innings on Monday. Jeren Duran tried to take a third on a ground ball for the shortstop and tagged a randon, and then Abraham Toro attempted to reach the second base on the play. Boston’s manager Alex Kora was excluded by the second base umpire Alan Porter to debate the call.
“Our point is that he (Louis Rengifo) was blocking the bag in second place,” Kora said. “I think the ruling is that if he is going to be easy then they can do so. We had a similar position with the same crew last year, and this (Minnesota’s Bayren Buxon) was on the second basis. Von (Grisom) blocked the bag. He was said to be safe.
Kenley Jensen, close to Los Angeles, left the game on Monday after throwing four pitches in the ninth innings.
Angels bench coach Ray Montgomery said after the game, “Kenle Jensen had a shoulder cramps and should recover.”
Jansen said that he is feeling his pectoral muscle and his neck cramps and is expected to be available for the pitch on Tuesday. Johnsen said that he wanted to live in the game on Monday, but the coach Barry Enterite was picked and said that “this is June, and we want to be careful.”
Jansen, who picked up Boston last year, has changed each of his 15 savings situations this season.
Boston Ace Garat Crocket is expected to take the mound for Tuesday’s matchup. Crochet (7-4, 2.20 Era) has 4.15 Era in three career games (4 1/3 innings) against angels. He did not make factor in the decision in any of the three matches.
Fellow left-handed Tyler Anderson (2–5, 4.56) is a potential initial pitcher of Los Angeles. Anderson 1–1 with 6.26 ERA in five career games (23 innings) against Boston.
Anderson conceded five runs on seven hits in 4 1/3 innings, when Angels defeated Red Sox 7-6 on 2 June.
He joined a hot discussion with Boston’s first base coach Jose Flores before the conclusion of that three-game series. Anderson allegedly accused of stealing Red Sox during his start. Other reports suggested that Anderson was tying his pitches.
Red Sax is 3-4 on its current nine-game road trip and 1-3 against Angels this season.
