Alex Cora didn’t agree with a crucial double-play call made in the sixth inning of the Red Sox’s 5-4 loss to the Angels on Wednesday.
In the bottom of the fifth inning, the Angels took a 4-2 lead on back-to-back homers by All-Stars Shohei Ohtani and Jared Walsh. The two 430-foot blasts put the Red Sox on their heels, but Christian Arroyo’s one-out single in the top of the sixth drove in a run and put runners on first and second.
Christian Vazquez, however, hit a grounder to Angels infielder David Fletcher. Fletcher lobbed it to Jose Iglesias, who spun and fired to first to complete the double play.
