After a four-game sweep at the hands of Tampa Bay, the Los Angeles Angels rebounded in a Game 1 win against the Boston Red Sox. But a Game 2 victory on Wednesday would have momentum truly shifted back in their favor.
With a 4:10 p.m. PT first pitch, Wednesday will be an opportunity for Angels ace Jered Weaver to rebound from a career-worst nine runs given up in his last outing.
Clay Buchholz will be on the mound for the Red Sox, and as usual, all eyes will be on Angels rookie phenom MIke Trout.
