The reigning World Series champions are looking as dangerous as ever. Playing in Game 2 on the road already hold a 1-0 lead, the Red Sox won again to all but put the Los Angeles Angels out of their misery.
This would be a disappointing way for the Angels to finish the season, especially considering that they had the best record in baseball during the regular season. However, the Red Sox just appear to be more poised and the Angels seem to be a bit rusty after not having a pressure packed game in a few months.
The hero in Game 2 was JD Drew. In the ninth inning, he hit a two-run homer to untie the game and give the Red Sox their final 7-5 margin. It is also noteworthy that the home run came off of Mr. 62 record-breaking saves himself — Francisco Rodriguez.
Game 3 will be on Sunday in Boston. To save their season, the Angels will have to pull out a road win against Josh Beckett.
