Domination of Angels Continues
7/28/10: Red Sox 7, Angels 3
The 2010 Red Sox have had some difficulty against unlikely teams: 6 losses to Baltimore, 3 losses to Kansas City, and 3 losses to Oakland. However, they have had no trouble at all against the team that eliminated them from the playoffs last season, defeating the Los Angeles Angels of Anahiem in all seven of their contests (with three left to play in September).
Josh Beckett was once again effective, pitching seven strong innings to record his first victory since April 10th. However, the story of the game was Marco Scutaro’s spine-breaking grand slam off of Fernando Rodney in the 8th inning.
When I look back at my season, there’s not going to be enough wins to really worry about it.

Notes & Takeaways:
- Minor League Rehab Update #1: Mike Lowell (remember him?) continues to take a dump on AAA pitchers, now with 4 home runs and 4 doubles in 22 at bats. His OPS is 1.727. The Sox will probably option Jeremy Hermida to Pawtucket to make room for Lowell, as they need all of their “defensive” outfielders now that J.D. Drew is having hamstring issues.
- Minor League Rehab Update #2: Now, the other side of the spectrum: noticeably missing from yesterday’s minor league box scores was Jacoby Ellsbury. I can’t seem to find any news on him, and he is still listed on the GCL roster. Stay tuned…
