BOSTON — Things looked bleak for the Angels when they
trailed by two runs in the ninth inning, but Los Angeles
recovered thanks to a key single from Vladimir Guerrero to pull
out a 7-6 victory over the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park on
Sunday.
Guerrero drove in two Angels runners. He went 2-4 at the plate.
“When it comes down to honoring Nick Adenhart, and what
happened in April in Anaheim, yes, it probably was the biggest
hit (of my career),” Guerrero said. “Because I’m dedicating that
to a former teammate, a guy that passed away.”

How can we use technology to make
journalism profitable?
