Detmers dominates as Angels pound out 15 hits in 6-1 win over Red Sox

The Angels controlled the game from the mound and at the plate Tuesday night, beating the Red Sox 6-1 at Fenway Park behind six scoreless innings from Reid Detmers and a 15-hit attack.

Detmers set the tone early. The left-hander allowed just one hit over six innings, walked one and struck out nine to earn the win. By the time Boston finally broke through in the seventh, Los Angeles had already built a four-run cushion.

Patrick Sandoval kept missing bats with seven strikeouts, but the Angels consistently found openings against him. Los Angeles scored once in the second, added two more in the third and pushed the lead to 4-0 with another run in the fifth. Sandoval finished with 10 hits and four earned runs allowed across six innings.

Zach Neto led the offense with a 4-for-5 night that included a home run and two RBIs. Vaughn Grissom went 2-for-3 with a walk, a run scored and an RBI, while Jose Siri added an RBI. Moisés Ballesteros and Christian Moore chipped in two hits apiece.

Boston managed only four hits. Nick Sogard had two of them and drove in the Red Sox’s lone run in the seventh, but the Angels answered with two more in the ninth to put the game away.
