The offensive attack struck early in this game for the Angels, the team put up an amazing seven runs, on home runs by Cole Calhoun, his 13th of the season and Albert Pujols, his 27 of the season, which ties him with teammate Mike Trout for the team lead, and a four-way tie for the Major League lead. David Freeze hit a three-run homer in the fourth inning, which was a 452ft bomb to deep center field.
The Angels were also outstanding in this games with runners in scoring position, going 5-7. Boston starter Eduardo Rodriguez,(5-3) on lasted 1.2/3, and he took the loss.
