Angels 1, Red Sox 0
ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Mike Trout's home run with two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning lifted the Los Angeles Angels to a 1-0 win over the Boston Red Sox on Friday night at Angel Stadium.
Trout hit an 88 mph fastball from Red Sox reliever Koji Uehara over the fence in center field for his 27th homer of the season.
The Angels' offense had emerged, it seemed, after they averaged 7.2 runs and 11.9 hits during a nine-game road trip going into the All-Star break. But the four days off seemed to have had an effect against Red Sox starter Wade Miley.
Miley retired the first 16 batters before catcher Chris Iannetta walked with one out in the sixth. Miley, though, completed six innings with a no-hitter intact.
On Miley's first pitch in the seventh, right fielder Kole Calhoun laced a 91 mph fastball off the fence in center field for a leadoff double.
Calhoun moved to third on Trout's flyout to deep right-center field, but first baseman Albert Pujols couldn't get the run in when he popped out to shallow right.
Erick Aybar followed with a grounder to the hole at short, but Red Sox shortstop Xander Bogaerts ranged to his right, backhanded the ball and made a strong throw to first in time to get Aybar and keep the score at 0-0.
The Red Sox put one runner on base in all eight innings against Angels starter C.J. Wilson but could never get a second baserunner.
Despite the eight scoreless innings, Wilson got a no-decision. It marked the eighth time in his 19 starts he has allowed no more than one earned run in a game.
Angels reliever Joe Smith (4-2) pitched a scoreless ninth for the win.
