**Angels’ Plate Discipline Leads to Victory Over Red Sox in Slugfest**
**ANAHEIM, CA -** The Los Angeles Angels defeated the Boston Red Sox 9-5 on Monday night, fueled by a newfound patience at the plate and capitalizing on Boston’s miscues. The Angels drew 11 walks, a significant factor in their win, highlighting a recent emphasis on plate discipline.
“Being patient, making the other guys work” acting Manager Ray Montgomery said after the game. “Obviously it’s something you try to do and not give up being aggressive. But in the same breath, they did a great job.”
The Angels jumped out to a 5-3 lead in the first inning, with Zach Neto leading off with a homer and Buehler walking four batters, but Boston clawed back to tie the game at 5-5 before the Angels broke the tie in the eighth.
A throwing error by Red Sox catcher Connor Wong allowed LaMonte Wade Jr., who had stolen his first base of the season, to score the go-ahead run. The Angels then padded their lead with a bases-loaded walk by Taylor Ward and a two-run single by Travis d’Arnaud.
Starting pitcher Jack Kochanowicz battled through five innings, giving up four runs, while Angels’ relievers Reid Detmers and Sam Bachman shut down the Red Sox offense late in the game.
A concerning moment came in the ninth when closer Kenley Jansen exited with an apparent injury, but he later confirmed it was just a cramp and that he would be available to pitch on Tuesday.
