BOSTON — Although the Angels don’t often let Jared Walsh face left-handed pitchers, he’s had some of his biggest moments in the big leagues against lefties.
Walsh delivered the game-tying hit with two outs in the ninth inning against lefty Jake Diekman, and then he and Taylor Ward hit home runs in a six-run 10th to lift the Angels to a 10-5 victory over the Boston Red Sox on Wednesday night.
Walsh, who also hit a grand slam against New York Yankees lefty closer Aroldis Chapman last season, fought Diekman through a nine-pitch at-bat, eventually yanking a single through the shift to bring home the tying run.
