Neto Hits 3-Run HR over Green Monster as Angels Beat Red Sox 6-4 to Take Series
Neto’s 25th homer sparked a five-run inning as the Angels ended Boston’s five-game winning streak and secured their first road series win since August.
On Wednesday night, Zach Neto hit a three-run homer over the Green Monster in the third inning, leading the Los Angeles Angels to a 6-4 victory over the Boston Red Sox and capturing the series.
An overturned strikeout call via the ABS challenge system extended Neto's at-bat after Jake Bennett's 0-2 sweeper, allowing him to work the count full before taking the pitcher deep.
Mike Trout doubled to left-center before Jose Siri launched a 382-foot two-run homer into the Red Sox bullpen, with Denzer Guzman adding a solo shot off the National Car Rental sign above the Monster.
Roman Anthony's two-run homer in the fifth trimmed Boston's deficit to 6-2, and Wilyer Abreu's solo shot made it 6-3, but Ben Joyce retired Anthony on a fly ball in the ninth for his fourth save.
The Angels logged back-to-back wins for the first time since August 12-13 and captured their first road series since Houston, while the Red Sox secured a six-game lead over Cleveland with a magic number of nine to clinch.
