Angels vs Red Sox: Live Score, Highlights & How to Watch Shohei Ohtani’s Fenway Showdown Tonight
• Hot Trendy News
Fenway Park explodes early as Angels mash their way to 5-0 first-inning lead over Red Sox
H2: Lightning start for Los Angeles
Los Angeles wasted zero time under the Boston lights. Rookie shortstop Zach Neto ambushed Richard Fitts’ first fastball and sent it 389 feet into the Monster Seats. Two batters later, three-time MVP Mike Trout pulverized a 454-foot blast to straightaway center, his 10th homer and third since returning from the injured list last week. Trout’s shot followed a Jorge Soler bouncer that third-baseman Abraham Toro misplayed, letting two additional runs score. Through only nine pitches, the Angels led 5-0 and Fenway’s bullpen phones were already ringing.
H2: What tonight’s outburst means
• Momentum shift: The Angels arrived on a two-game skid and sitting fourth in the AL West (26-32). Jumping on Boston instantly resets clubhouse energy.
• Trout trending: The superstar is now 6-for-11 with three bombs since activation, quieting concerns about lingering back tightness.
• Fenway factor: Los Angeles entered with an MLB-best .840 OPS in hitters’ parks; cool Boston air couldn’t slow them.
H2: Pitching match-up in flux
Manager Ron Washington penciled veteran lefty Tyler Anderson (3.39 ERA) against Fitts, who was still searching for his first big-league win (0-2, 2.70 ERA). Fitts’ heavy-sinker plan unraveled quickly; Boston may pivot to long reliever Chase Anderson to preserve the bullpen for the next two nights.

H2: Standings implications
Boston sits fourth in the AL East, 8 ½ behind New York. A stumble this week could push the Sox further into wild-card traffic, while an Angels sweep would move L.A. within three of .500 and tighten a muddled West race.
H2: Key storylines to watch
1. Trout vs Green Monster – Trout owns a career .320/.415/.650 slash at Fenway. Can Boston’s right-field improvements hold him in check?
2. Masataka Yoshida’s return – The Red Sox DH missed the weekend Braves series with an oblique tweak but is expected back Tuesday.
3. Bullpen chess – Boston’s revamped late-inning trio (Kenley Jansen, Chris Martin, Brennan Bernardino) has the AL’s second-best ERA since May 1. L.A. counters with Carlos Estévez and slider-heavy Ben Joyce.
H2: Betting snapshot
The Red Sox opened as –160 favorites, but live odds swung dramatically to Angels –200 after the top of the first. The total leapt from 8.5 to 12.5 runs as bettors reacted to the early fireworks.
H2: Bottom line
With Mike Trout locked in and Fenway’s summer air carrying, the Angels have an opportunity to flip their season narrative. Boston, meanwhile, must answer quickly to avoid surrendering both the game and valuable ground in a brutal AL East.
