Trumbo, Angels Power Past Red Sox To Split Series

BOSTON (AP) -- Rookie Mark Trumbo hit his sixth homer of the season and the Los Angeles Angels salvaged a series split at Boston, racking up 18 hits while shutting out the Red Sox 11-0 Thursday afternoon.

Bobby Abreu drove in three runs for Los Angeles, which was 0-6 against Boston entering the four-game series.

After ending the skid in a rain-delayed 5-3 win in 13 innings early Thursday, the Angels chased Boston starter John Lackey (2-4) in the fifth after scoring eight runs on 10 hits.

Joel Pineiro (1-0) got his first win of the season, holding Boston to three hits over 5 2/3 innings. Relievers Rich Thompson and Francisco Rodriguez preserved the shutout as the Angels prevented the Red Sox from getting a runner past second.
