 ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) - Josh Beckett rebounded from one of the worst outings of his career to pitch six strong innings, David Ortiz hit his 46th homer, and the Boston Red Sox beat the Los Angeles Angels 2-1 Thursday night to hand rookie Jered Weaver his first loss.
Beckett entered with an 0-3 record in four starts this month, having allowed 30 hits and 23 earned runs in 23 2-3 innings. In his previous outing, he walked nine and gave up nine earned runs — both career highs — in a 13-5 loss to the New York Yankees.
Beckett (14-8) blanked the Angels on four hits before leaving in the seventh because of a small cut on his right middle finger.
