Baseball Betting Lines

08/17/2010 - Boston, MA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Clay Buchholz turned in seven scoreless innings and Ryan Kalish hit his first career grand slam as Boston downed the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, 6-0, in the opener of a three-game set from Fenway Park.

Darnell McDonald added a solo homer for the Red Sox, who notched their eighth straight win over the Halos this season and have won 10 of the last 11 meetings with the AL's southern California franchise.

Buchholz (14-5) scattered five hits over his outing, fanning three with two walks for his third straight victory and fourth in five starts.

Torii Hunter and Hideki Matsui collected two hits each for the Angels, who haven't beaten the Sox since the final matchup of last season, on September 17, 2009 at Fenway.

Jered Weaver (11-8) was dented in defeat for six hits and six runs over five full frames. It was the first time since May 18 at Texas that the right-hander failed to work at least six innings.
