BOSTON — Among the surprises of the first month of the Red Sox season, the absence of their offense ranks at the top. But the emergence of Michael Wacha as one of their best starters isn’t far behind.
Wacha continued a dazzling start to his Boston career with another strong effort, tossing 5 2/3 shutout innings to lead the Red Sox to a 4-0 victory over the Angels on a cold and dreary Tuesday night at Fenway Park.
The reeling Red Sox haven’t had many reasons for optimism after losing their last four series and coming off a dismal road trip that included several painful losses. But the dominance of their starting rotation is one – and Wacha has certainly surpassed expectations so far.
