August 17, 2007 Red Sox 8, Angels 6

Most of the scoring was early, as the Sox take game two of the doubleheader. Neither starter is very effective, with Angels starter Ervin Santana knocked out of the game in the 3rd inning after a Mike Lowell grand slam gives the Sox the 7-3 lead. Josh Beckett also strugled, allowing 6 runs in the first 4 innings as the Angels get back in the game, but manages to go 6 and gets the win. Thanks to some shoddy Sox defense, Beckett's ERA didn't take much of a hit as only one run was earned. Manny Declarmen pitches a solid 7th and 8th allowing one hit, and Papelbon delivers in the 9th for save number 34.
