BOSTON (AP) — Garrett Whitlock threw seven innings of one-run ball, Justin Turner hit a two-run homer and the Boston Red Sox beat the Los Angeles Angels 2-1 on Sunday in a game that lasted just under two hours.
Boston honored their 2013 World Series championship team before the game, including new Hall of Famer David Ortiz, the 2013 World Series MVP.
Los Angeles star Shohei Ohtani had his 36-game on-base streak halted; it had been the longest in MLB.
Making just his second start after starting the season on the injured list while recovering from offseason hip surgery Whitlock (1-1) allowed three hits with five strikeouts and two walks.
