Overview
- Mike Trout went 3-for-4 with a 454-foot three-run homer—the longest at Fenway this year—and raised his batting average from .179 to .225 since returning from a bruised left knee.
- Zach Neto’s leadoff blast and Jo Adell’s solo homer in the first inning combined with Trout’s shot to make the Angels the first visitors in Fenway Park history to hit three homers in the opening frame.
- Trout’s three hits on Monday moved him past Tim Salmon into second place on the Angels’ career hits list with 1,675.
- Red Sox starter Richard Fitts allowed six runs on four hits, dropping to 0-3 for the season, while Jarren Duran went 3-for-5 with two doubles for Boston.
- Veteran closer Kenley Jansen delivered a hitless ninth inning to record his 12th save and preserve the Angels’ one-run victory.
