The Angels have won four of their past six games, while the Red Sox lost for only the fifth time in their past 18 games. Gary DiSarcina broke out of a 3-for-25 slump when he hit his fifth home run, a two-run shot, in the second inning as the Angels took a 3-0 lead. Rex Hudler reached on an RBI single. ``That was the first time my parents saw me hit a home run in the major leagues,'' said DiSarcina, a Malden, Mass., native. ``If I retire from the game tonight I'd go out a happy player.'' Vaughn's 35th home run, a solo shot in the seventh inning, tied the game 3-3. It was Vaughn's 19th home run at Fenway Park this season. Tony Armas holds the Red Sox record with 21 home runs in one season at Fenway. ``I had been pitching Mo low but I got the ball up and if you give him a pitch up, Mo is going to hit it,'' Angels starter Shawn Boskie said. The Red Sox chased Boskie in the seventh inning. He pitched 6-2/3 innings and gave up three runs. He was replaced by Mike James who loaded the bases in the eighth inning with two outs when he walked Jeff Frye. Holtz then relieved and struck out Vaughn to end the inning. ``That's my job, to get the lefties out,'' said Holtz. ``I didn't want to go to 2-1 or even 3-1 on Mo but the count got to 3-2 and I threw him a breaking ball down.'' Tom Gordon pitched 7-1/3 innings for the Red Sox, allowing three runs.
