The Boston Red Sox closed out a three-game sweep of the Los Angeles Angels with a 7-5 win at Angel Stadium, with first pitch on Sunday, July 5, 2026, at 9:30 PM local time.
Jarren Duran and Willson Contreras both went deep to power the offense, while a five-man Boston bullpen combined for six and one-third scoreless innings of relief after starter Ranger Suarez was forced from the game early.
The result extended a miserable stretch for the Angels, who dropped their fifth straight game and fell to 11-17 since June 17, while the Red Sox pushed their record to seven wins in nine games.
Boston out-hit and out-pitched Los Angeles across all three games of the set, never trailing in any of the contests for more than a few innings.
Sonny Gray was the standout of the series, allowing just one run on four hits over six innings in the July 4 victory, while closer Aroldis Chapman set a major league record for career relief strikeouts in the series opener.
Caleb Durbin, Willson Contreras and Romy Gonzalez led Boston’s offensive surge across the three games, while Angels center fielder Mike Trout was named an All-Star starter despite being sidelined by a hamstring injury.
