 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).

HP - Ripperger, 1B - Hoye, 2B - Libka, 3B - O'Nora

Taking over for David Price in a rotation is a tall task. Following a 13-strikeout performance a night earlier is even more difficult.
Such is the situation left-hander Brian Johnson finds himself in as his Boston Red Sox (-1.5) host the Los Angeles Angels (+1.5) on Friday in the second contest of a four-game series.

Angels-Red Sox Preview

BOSTON (AP)  J.D. Martinez had a moment of panic in between home runs when a drive deep to right didn't quite make it out of Fenway Park.
Two other hits by Martinez did as he slugged a pair of homers while leading the Boston Red Sox to a 16-4 rout of the slumping Los Angeles Angels on Friday night.
