ANAHEIM, Calif., July 28 (UPI) -- Marco Scutaro's eighth-inning grand slam homer broke a tie Wednesday and boosted the Boston Red Sox to a 7-3 victory over the Los Angeles Angels.
The Red Sox loaded the bases with no outs against Fernando Rodney (4-1) when Jeremy Hermida and Bill Hall drew walks and Eric Patterson reached on an infield single.
Scutaro followed by lofting a pitch into the left field stands just inside the foul pole for his second career grand slam, handing Boston a three-game series sweep at Angels Stadium.
Hall, Adrian Beltre and Kevin Youkilis added solo homers for Boston.
Josh Beckett (2-1) got the victory in his second start since returning from the disabled list with a lower back strain. He hurled seven strong innings, allowing three runs on five hits, walking one and striking out five.
Scot Shields (0-4) made an emergency start in place of scheduled Angels pitcher Joel Pineiro, who was scratched before the game with a left oblique strain. The team later said Pineiro would be out 6-to-8 weeks.
The struggling Angels lost for the seventh time in eight games.
