ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) - Boston's latest postseason win over the
Los Angeles Angels moved the team with baseball's best record to
the verge of elimination.
J.D. Drew stunned Francisco Rodriguez with a two-run homer in
the ninth inning, and the defending World Series champions beat the
Angels 7-5 on Friday night for a 2-0 lead in their first-round AL
playoff series.
Boston, one win from advancing to the AL championship series,
won its 11th consecutive postseason game against the Angels,
setting the record for most postseason wins in a row over one
opponent. The Red Sox won their ninth consecutive postseason game.
