07/19/2008 - Anaheim, CA (Baseball Betting) - Erick Aybar's pinch-hit, three-run triple sent the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim over the Boston Red Sox, 4-2, in the middle test of a three-game set.
Vladimir Guerrero added a solo homer for the Angels, who have won four straight and five of their last six to lead the majors with 59 victories.
Jose Arredondo (4-0) remained unbeaten on the year, notching the win by retiring one batter. Starter Joe Saunders was solid, yielding just six hits and a pair of runs over 6 2/3 frames.
Kevin Youkilis smacked a two-run home run for the Red Sox, who have dropped two in a row. Josh Beckett (9-6) recorded the fifth complete game of his career but lost by allowing nine hits and four runs with six strikeouts and a walk.
The Angels finally broke through against Beckett and took the lead with a four-run seventh inning.
Guerrero's leadoff shot made it 2-1. Torii Hunter and Garret Anderson both singled, and after pinch-hitter Reggie Willits' sacrifice bunt advanced the runners, a walk to Howie Kendrick loaded the bases. Aybar then cleared the bases with a triple just inside the right-field line.
"My manager told me I had to be ready for anything," said Aybar. "He (Beckett) threw me a changeup. The only thing I was thinking was that I should run as fast as I could."
Boston loaded the bases against Scot Shields in the eighth, but failed to gain ground. Francisco Rodriguez allowed a single to Dustin Pedroia and walked J.D. Drew in the ninth, but hung on to record his big-league best 39th save.
"We created opportunities but we didn't get the big hit to cash in," noted Red Sox manager Terry Francona.
In the second, the Sox picked up a pair of runs as Manny Ramirez stroked a leadoff double and scored two batters later on Youkilis' 17th home run of the season.
Beckett was in control from the start, retiring 10 in a row from the first until a Maicer Izturis one-out infield single in the fourth.
The Angels finally got a runner to third in the sixth inning, as Chone Figgins doubled with one down and advanced on a wild pitch. However, the Sox ace got Casey Kotchman looking and induced a fly out by Izturis.
