Anaheim, CA (My Sportsbook) - Jered Weaver was dominant through 7 1/3 innings, and the Angels scored three two-out runs in the seventh inning to break a tie, as Los Angeles grabbed a 2-0 series lead over the Red Sox with a 4-1 victory at Angel Stadium.

Weaver (1-0) allowed just one run on two hits and two walks while fanning seven for the Angels, who have won the first two games of a postseason series for only the second time in franchise history. The last time was in 1982 against the Brewers in a five-game ALCS, when Milwaukee responded from its deficit to win three straight games and the league pennant.

It was the third career postseason appearance for Weaver -- all against Boston -- and he earned his first win as a starter, having been 1-1 with one start in 2007 and one relief appearance in 2008. It was the second consecutive pitching gem for LA, after John Lackey pitched 7 1/3 shutout innings in a 5-0 win on Thursday.

The Angels, who have lost in the ALDS to the Red Sox in 2004, 2007 and 2008, will go for a sweep of the best-of-five series at Fenway Park on Sunday at 12:07 p.m. (et).

Erick Aybar capped the two-out, three-run rally in the seventh with a two-run triple, and Maicer Izturis put Los Angeles ahead for good with an RBI single, adding a run scored. Brian Fuentes earned his first career postseason save.

Josh Beckett (0-1), who has been a postseason hero for both Boston and Florida, allowed four runs on five hits and a walk in 6 2/3 innings to take the loss for the Red Sox, who will send Clay Buchholz to the mound in Game 3 to make his first postseason start with an opportunity to extend Boston's season.

Beckett, the 2003 World Series MVP with the Marlins and 2007 ALCS MVP with Boston, suffered his first loss in the postseason since joining the Red Sox, having been 5-0 in seven starts coming into the game. Boston, which has scored just one run in the two games combined, got an RBI single from Victor Martinez to account for the offense.

The last nine times the Red Sox have lost Game 1 of a postseason series, they have also lost Game 2. Despite the setbacks, they have won two of the last three series in which they trailed, 0-2. Out of the four times a team has recovered from an 0-2 hole in the LDS to advance, Boston has recorded two of those comebacks (1999 vs. Cleveland, 2003 vs. Oakland).
