 Angels split with Red Sox
Quote:
The Los Angeles Angels were happy to split a series at the home of the only team with a better record.
The Boston Red Sox simply shrugged off their lead in the AL East dropping to four games over New York after they lost to left-hander Joe Saunders 3-1 on Sunday.
"If the Yankees win 20 in a row, they'll catch us," Mike Lowell said. "If every division winner got to the World Series it would mean something. But it doesn't mean anything" to finish in first.
The AL West-leading Angels bounced back after blowing a 5-0 lead and losing 10-5 on Saturday night.
"I think we press a little when we get here because we know this is a great team," Saunders said. "They play great at home, just like we do, and I think this game was like a must win for us."
In his 26th major league start, the 26-year-old Saunders scattered six hits and allowed just two runners to reach second base in 7 2-3 innings. He struck out seven, walked two and was charged with one run.
