The Red Sox finished the West Coast trip at 6-4 after completing a three-game sweep of the Angels. Josh Beckett pitched seven strong innings and Marco Scutaro crushed a grand slam to left to give the Sox a 7-3 win. Ramon Ramirez finished the game with two strikeouts. The only runs the Red Sox scored were on homers. Two solo blasts in the second by Bill Hall and Adrian Beltre gave the Sox a 2-0 lead, but Beckett coughed up three runs. In the seventh, Kevin Youkilis smashed one to tie the game, and then in the eighth Scutaro bombed one.
The Sox will return home and have a day off on Thursday before taking on the Tigers at Fenway Park. Jon Lester will pitch the opening game against Armando Galaragga. The Tigers will take newly acquired Jhonny Peralta with them to Boston.
Trivia
Adrian Beltre and David Ortiz are in the top spots for the Red Sox RBI lead, with 64. Kevin Youkilis is in second place with 61.
