The Los Angeles Angels entered their series opener against the Boston Red Sox eager to rebound after dropping two consecutive games to the Cleveland Guardians. These losses brought their season record to 26-32, keeping them in fourth place in the AL West. Despite a strong performance from Mike Trout, who went 3-for-4 with an RBI double in the series finale against Cleveland, the Angels' offense struggled to capitalize on opportunities, leading to a 4-2 defeat.

Facing the Red Sox at Fenway Park, the Angels wasted no time igniting their offense. In the top of the first inning, they erupted for six runs, a surge highlighted by three home runs.

Zach Neto led off with a solo shot, followed by a three-run homer from Mike Trout, and capped by Jo Adell's solo blast over the Green Monster.

This trio of home runs marked a historic achievement: the Angels became the first visiting team in Fenway Park's storied history to hit three homers in the first inning. Given that Fenway has been a Major League Baseball landmark since 1912, this is a major feat the Angels franchise would be proud to have achieved.

The Angels are the first visiting team in the history of Fenway Park to hit 3 homers in the first inning.

Neto's leadoff homer was his 10th of the season, continuing his impressive campaign, while Trout's three-run blast marked his first home run since returning from a lengthy injury and his 10th of the season. Adell's solo shot was his eight of the year, adding to his growing contributions to the team's offense.

The Angels will look to capitalize on their hot start to the game and secure a victory to take the lead in the series.
