The Boston Red Sox concluded their season-opening West Coast trip with a commanding 12-2 victory over the Los Angeles Angels, bringing their record to 7-3. Reese McGuire was a standout performer, driving in a career-high five runs, while Tanner O'Neill added to the tally with his fifth home run of the season. The team's success was bolstered by hitting four home runs in the game. The pitching staff, highlighted by Tanner Houck's strong start and Chase Anderson's closing of the final three innings, played a key role in the victory. The Red Sox are now set to return home, where they will celebrate the 20th anniversary of the 2004 World Series Championship team during their home opener. The 2004 team, known for breaking an 86-year championship drought, will be honored in a special ceremony, which will also pay tribute to Tim Wakefield and Larry Lucchino.
