Red Sox Record Only Second 1-0 Win Ever Against Angels (61 Seasons) In Both Games, The Left Fielder Scored On A Hit By The Catcher

Michael Wacha: Second Red Sox pitcher ever to throw a shutout in a 1-0 win against the Angels (home or road, any # of hits). Don Aase, Jul 31 1977. This is also Boston's only other 1-0 win in team history against the Angels.https://t.co/tEVIFHOtAO

Since the July 31, 1977 game was on a Sunday afternoon, I probably listened to it (and watched it if it was on TV).

As noted above, Wacha's shutout is Boston's second 1-0 win against the Angels ever (61 years). In both games:

Boston's catcher drove in the run: Carlton Fisk and Christian Vazquez
Boston's left fielder scored the run: Jim Rice and Alex Verdugo
Boston's shortstop hit a double: Rick Burleson and Xander Bogaerts

The pitching lines are also nearly identical:

Aase: 9-3-0-1-7, 31 BF (allowed 2 singles, 1 double)
Wacha: 9-3-0-1-6, 29 BF (allowed 2 singles, 1 double)

And the times of the two games is only three minutes apart: 2:29 in 1977 and 2:32 in 2022.
