The Boston Red Sox defeated the Los Angeles Angels 5–2 on July 3 at Angel Stadium, exceeding the Vegas total of 7.5 runs with a combined 7 runs. Boston's pitching proved decisive, allowing just 7 hits and 2 earned runs with a 3.79 ERA while striking out 7, compared to the Angels' 4.60 ERA and 10 strikeouts across a less efficient outing. The Red Sox offense generated 11 hits and 5 RBIs despite matching the Angels' 10 strikeouts, with both teams struggling to put runners in scoring position—Boston drew 3 walks to Los Angeles's none. The Angels managed only 7 hits with a .707 OPS and committed 1 error that may have contributed to the deficit. Boston's superior pitching control and run prevention kept the Angels' potent lineup at bay, holding them to a single home run. The Red Sox's ability to manufacture runs on limited offensive efficiency suggests their pitching depth could be a deciding factor in upcoming divisional matchups.
