Boxscore Breakdown #44: Repeat – Red Sox 6, Angels 1

freeagent

Remember yesterday when I said that the Boxscore Breakdown for that game was basically going to be the same one as today? Yeah, I wasn’t kidding. The numbers may have been a bit different, but the storyline was the same. Napoli got a big homer. The bullpen let a close game get away. The Angels offense was lame. Lather. Rinse. Repeat.

Red Sox 6, Angels 1

Johnny G actually got a hit, but he had to get benched first. That summarizes this series pretty well. C.J. Cron had another hit as well in his desperate and, what I believe, futile effort to hold onto his roster spot.

Also, Xander Bogaerts can thank the Angels for salvaging his disappointing start to the season.

Hector Santiago went into the seventh of this game, but needed an absurd number of pitches to do it. He was pretty solid though.

Koji Uehara once again proved adept at locking down a non-save against the Angels.

Sorry, Erick, but that GIDP in the eighth was a real backbreaker.
