In a commanding display of power, the Boston Red Sox dominated the Los Angeles Angels with a 12-2 victory, concluding their season-opening West Coast trip with a 7-3 record. Tyler O'Neill was a standout performer, hitting his fifth home run of the season, contributing to the team's total of four home runs in the game. This marked O'Neill's 6th career multi-homer game. Reese McGuire also had a notable performance, achieving a career-high five RBIs. The Red Sox's offensive prowess was on full display, with back-to-back homers from O'Neill and Triston Casas highlighting their strength. The Angels, now 5-4, struggled throughout the game, with their pitching and offense failing to make an impact, although Mike Trout managed to homer. The Red Sox's success was further bolstered by strong pitching, including a notable performance from Houck and a closing effort by Chase Anderson, who pitched the final three innings. The game was also marked by the Angels resorting to using position player Miguel Sanó as a pitcher due to their bullpen's struggles.

Miguel Sano. Quality reliever. https://t.co/MdgF1vRIAo
Position player Miguel Sanó is in to pitch for the #Angels, as Guillermo Zuniga couldn't record an out in the eighth. They're down 12-1 with two outs and the bases loaded.
OK the position player pitching thing has definitely gotten tired, but I'm here for Miguel Sano pitching for the Angels!!
