By: Mike Petraglia

Howie Kendrick's third hit of the game drove in pinch-runner Terry Evans with the go-ahead run in the ninth inning as the Los Angeles Angels nipped the Red Sox, 4-3, Thursday night at Fenway Park. The loss snapped Boston's seven-game winning streak and its 10-game winning streak at Fenway Park. Kendrick homered and drove in two runs for the Angels, who erased a 3-1 deficit to win the season series 5-4. Jacoby Ellsbury and Jason Bay homered in the fifth inning, when the Red Sox scored all three of their runs. Josh Beckett pitched eight innings, allowing three runs, and did not get a decision. Billy Wagner pitched the ninth and took the loss. For more, visit the Full Count blog.
