In a recent MLB game, the Boston Red Sox faced a disappointing 2-1 loss to the Los Angeles Angels, primarily due to a critical fielding error by Rafael Devers. Devers struggled with a decision on a soft chopper to third, ultimately making a late step back that led to a two-run error, tipping the game in the Angels' favor. Despite the Red Sox's pitchers performing well enough to secure a win, with both runs scored by the Angels being unearned thanks to Devers' error, the team's offense was notably subdued throughout the night, striking out a total of 14 times. This loss ended the Red Sox's five-game winning streak. Additionally, Trevor Story provided an update on his shoulder injury, which adds to the team's concerns following the defeat.

The Red Sox struck out 14 times in a 2-1 loss to the Angels. Certainly pitched well enough to win (both runs scored by Anaheim were unearned thanks to the Devers error), but the offense was shut down all night.
Devers couldn't make up his mind on a soft chopper to third, got caught in between, took a late step back instead of attacking, and booted the ball for a two-run error. It's 2-1, Angels.
