Holiday Festival Round 2 Boston (1) takes out the Angels (8) 3-1

Game 1 LAA 0 – BOS 4
Sale and Ohtani lock up in a pitchers dual through the first five innings.  Once Ohtani’s day was done the Red Sox hit Bedrosian for four runs in 2/3’s of an inning.  Bogaerts lead off with a homer and Martinez hits a two run bomb to ice the game.   Workman and Smith close out the game.  Sale goes 6 2/3’s allowing two hits a walk and eight punch outs.

Game 2 LAA 7 – BOS 1
Heaney and Porcello square off and neither goes five innings, but Heaney was unscored upon and Porcello gave up a two run shot to Ohtani  to break things open.  He followed that up with a solo shot in the 7th to help ice the game.  The Bullpen by Committee of Buttrey, Robles, Parker and Anderson spun 4 1/3 shut-out innings.

Game 3 BOS 5 – LAA 2

Game 3 was became the LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS.  Numerous crashes throughout the game killed the spirit of the game.  After the last restart the game seemed to have forgotten the DH Rule was in effect, at least for Boston.  In order to make a pitching change Boston had to put the pitcher in the line-up and remove the DH.
As far as the game went,  Price and Barria started the game.  Barria lasted four innings giving up three runs (two earned) and Price went six plus giving up two runs with eight K’s.  Kimbrel shut the door for the save.

Game 4 BOS 16 – LAA 2
Rodriguez and Richards squared off in the elimination game.  A three run second, a solo run in the third and then the flood gates opened in the fifth as Boston broke things open with a five spot.  Moreland and Devers  each had three hits and four RBI’s, with Devers homering twice.
