Kendrys Morales led off the Angels' two-run 10th inning with a solo homer, and Los Angeles completed a three-game sweep by outlasting the Red Sox 14-13 on Thursday night. Wells hit a solo homer to cut Boston's lead to 11-10 in the ninth and then doubled in the run that proved to be the difference after Morales' 16th homer of the season snapped a 12-12 tie in the 10th. Ernesto Frieri (2-0) got the win after giving up a tying solo homer in the ninth to Cody Ross, his 19th of the season, and an RBI single in the 10th to Dustin Pedroia, who drove in five runs. The Red Sox took an 11-9 lead in the eighth on RBI singles by Jacoby Ellsbury and Pedroia, but the Angels rallied in the ninth and regained the lead with Wells' eighth homer and two-out, run-scoring singles by Torii Hunter and Mark Trumbo. The Red Sox took a 1-0 lead in the first on a double by Pedroia and an RBI single by Gonzalez. Wilson retired eight straight batters before Pedroia reached on an error by third baseman Alberto Callaspo in the fifth and scored on a single by Ross. Angels first baseman Albert Pujols missed the game with tightness in his right calf. ... The Angels return home for a three-game series against the Detroit Tigers with Zack Greinke (1-2) going for Los Angeles against Rick Porcello (9-8).
