9/13-9/14 - Fenway Park
GAME 1 - Angels 4, Red Sox 3
Things looked good when the Sahx jumped out to a quick 3-0 lead off of Kevin Appier in the bottom of the first. Mike Lowell doubled home Dustin Pedroia for the first run of the game with 1 out. Big Papi singled home Lowell for run number 2 and Jason Veritek singled home Papi with run number 3. John Lester had himself a nice lead and was cruising until he hit the fifth inning. After Adam Kennedy singled, David Eckstein singled to put runners on the corners. Scott Spiezio walked and up stepped Tim Salmon who hit the game breaker. Salmon launched a majestic shot arching high over the Green Monstah seats for a huge grand slam. The Angels were able to get to the 9th to hand the ball off to Troy Percival who fanned 2 to notch his 6th save of the season.
GAME 2 - Red Sox 13, Angels 6
Six Boston homers gave Tim Wakefield (3-1, 4.54) more than enough runs to win. Amazingly those homers came from 6 different Red Sox players. David Ortiz hit his 9th and Jason Varitek went 4 for 4 and hit his 2nd. Manny Delcarmen pitched a perfect 2 and 1/3 innings to close it out.
9/15- Edison Int Field
GAME 3 - Angels 2, Red Sox 0
Aaron Sele had a 4 hit shutout for 6 innings then gave way to the pen, as 4 Angel relievers combined to hold down the vaunted Red Sox offense. On the back end Troy Percival got the final 2 outs to post his 7th save of the season. Boston's Curt Schilling (4-2, 3.18) had a shutout of his own until the he gave up a 2 run shot to Adam Kennedy in the bottom of the 5th on a day where runs would come at a premium.
