BOSTON, May 3 (Reuters) - The Boston Red Sox continued their dominance of the Los Angeles Angels with a 7-3 victory on Tuesday.
Starter Jon Lester struck out 11 and allowed just one run in seven innings to lead the Red Sox to their sixth consecutive win over the Angels (16-14) this season. It was also Boston's 15th triumph in the last 16 meetings between the teams.
Boston (14-15) swept Los Angeles in their previous four-game series before taking the opener against previously undefeated pitcher Jered Weaver on Monday.
This time the home team scored twice in the sixth inning to take a 2-1 lead, then chased Los Angeles starter Dan Haren in the eighth where they added four more runs.
David Ortiz homered for the second successive night, in the eighth, and Adrian Gonzalez's solo blast to start the inning sent Haren to the showers having allowed four runs in seven innings.
