 This will be the first meeting between the Angels and Red Sox this season after the Red Sox swept the six-game season series in 2018. The Sox outscored the Angels by 37 runs in those six games (49-12) and more than doubled them up in hits (76-36).

 The Angels have lost 10 of their last 12 games, allowing at least six runs in each of the 10 losses and averaging just 3.9 runs offensively. They have batted just .210 in that span, lowest in MLB since July 25.

 Boston has lost nine of its last ten with the starting pitching staff posting a 9.50 ERA and a .344 BAA (not including Wednesday's suspended game). The Red Sox now sit 6.0 games out of the AL's second wild card spot and 16.0 games behind the AL East-leading Yankees.

 Since July 3, Mike Trout ranks first in MLB in slugging percentage (.879), tied for first in home runs (16), second in RBI (32), second in extra-base hits (24) and second in OPS (1.280). In that same time span, the rest of the Angels have combined for an OPS of .704.

 Since the All-Star break, Xander Bogaerts has collected multiple hits in 12 of his 26 games and one hit in another seven games. His 39 hits since the break leads all of MLB, but he has totaled just four hits in his last six games, batting .174 (4-for-23).

 Chris Sale is 6-0 with a 1.23 ERA in nine career appearances against the Angels, including 13 innings of scoreless baseball in his last two starts against the team. His 1.23 ERA is the lowest by any active player against a single opponent (minimum 50 innings pitched).

In a season full of frustrations, Chris Sale finally boiled over his last time out.
The left-hander imploded as part of a seven-run fourth inning for the New York Yankees that ended Sale's day when he was ejected by the home plate umpire for arguing balls and strikes. The struggling southpaw will once again seek redemption as his Boston Red Sox host the Los Angeles Angels in the start of a four-game series Thursday.

Red Sox's Sale seeking answers as Angels visit

BOSTON (AP)  Red Sox ace Chris Sale and assistant pitching coach Brian Bannister logged long hours in the video room after Sale was lit up twice by the rival Yankees recently.
With a few tweaks, the lanky left-hander was picture perfect Thursday night.
