For the second straight game, the Red Sox were 9-5 losers. On Sunday, sloppy defense did them in; Monday, it was the walks.

In losing by four, the Red Sox four times forced in a run by issuing a walk or hitting a batter with the bases loaded.

The Angels score five runs in the first and four runs to snap a tie in the eighth on their way to a 9-5 victory. They draw 11 walks, including four in the first inning and three in the eighth.
