Dwight Evans singled and scored in the third inning and homered in the seventh to supply the Red Sox' runs in a 2-1 victory over the Angels. To cap his night, Evans also made a leaping catch against the right field wall to deprive Mike Epstein of a possible tying homer in the ninth. [The Sporting News]
