Four hours before the opening pitch Tuesday, teammates John Lamb and Akeel Morris emerged from the visitors dugout to behold the wonder of a sun-bathed Fenway Park.
The charm of the old ball cathedral, particularly for Lamb, soured quickly. Very quickly. As in first-fastball-of-the-game quickly.
“When it snowballs, it gets frustrating,” Lamb said. “Night like tonight is a frustrating night to be out there on the bump, especially when you lose a ballgame.”
In the first two games of this trip, the Angels have scored just once and had only four at-bats with runners in scoring position.
