Sox wrap up Angels series in style

Though the four-game series is technically not over until the two teams make up the game that was rained out yesterday, the Red Sox still managed to defeat the Angels in three games this weekend, scoring 25 runs to LA's three. Today's 7-2 win put the icing on the cake, capping off the series with a homerun for David Ortiz and some nice defense from Julio Lugo, who made perhaps the best play of the young season for Boston when he made this sliding catch in center field. The Angels are hardly the worst team in the league, and the offensive breakout of the Sox (coupled with the slew of injuries in the New York's already-weak starting rotation) gives more evidence of the fact that the Sox are the team to beat in the league this season.
