In August 2005, a young and extremely promising Red Sox pitcher made his third career start against the Angels in Anaheim. This was a strong Angels team led by prime Vlad Guerrero, one that would go on to win 95 games and the AL West. But on this day, the rookie shut them down, pitching into the sixth inning while allowing just five hits and keeping the opposition off the scoreboard entirely. It was yet another exciting show of talent from a guy everyone was certain would anchor of the Red Sox rotation for years to come.
