Ex-Red Sox pitcher traded to Angels, starting third stint with team (report)

3 days ago

Former Red Sox pitcher Luis García is on the move, again.
The 38-year old righty has been dealt from the Washington Nationals to the Los Angeles Angels, according to a report from ESPN's Jeff Passan.
The Nationals had signed García to a major league deal earlier this month.
Boston acquired García at last year's trade deadline in a deal with the Angels, for whom he had logged a 3.71 ERA over 45 appearances.
The veteran struggled during his time in Boston in 2024. In 15 appearances for the Red sox, he struggled to an 8.22 ERA with 13 strikeouts across 15.1 inning pitched.
Following his lackluster tenure in Boston, Garcia signed a minor league deal with the Dodgers in February of this year. He was DFA'd in early June before joining the Nationals.
His final appearance with the Nationals was on Monday in a 2-1 win over the Astros. Garcia struck out one and walked one in an inning of work.

Romy Gonzalez hits a first-inning homer and Red Sox go on to beat Astros 7-3

BOSTON — Romy Gonzalez homered over the Green Monster on the first pitch faced by a Boston batter, Trevor Story added a two-run shot, and the Red Sox beat the Houston Astros 7-3 on Saturday. Abraham Toro added a two-run drive — one of three homers the Red Sox hit over Fenway Park's fabled left-field wall — and Story added an RBI double as Boston won its third straight. Houston's Christian Walker homered for the second straight day, a two-run shot off Walker Buehler in the first inning. The benches and bullpens cleared when Astros reliever Héctor Neris yelled at the Red Sox dugout and third-base coach Kyle Hudson at the end of the seventh. But order was quickly restored. After beating the AL West leaders on Roman Anthony's walk-off single in the series opener on Friday night , the Red Sox erased a quick 2-0 deficit when Story hit his drive in a three-run third against Colton Gordon (4-4) that pushed Boston ahead 4-2. Story's shot hit the top of a billboard over the Monster seats and bounced out of Fenway after Rob Refsnyder's RBI single. Justin Wilson (3-1) came on in the fifth inning with runners on second and third with Boston leading 6-3 and struck out the only two batters he faced. Aroldis Chapman got the final two outs for his 20th save. Gordon gave up six runs in four-plus innings. The Astros loaded the bases in the eighth against Jordan Hicks, but Carlos Correa struck out looking on a 99 mph fastball. Boston's bullpen went 4 2/3 scoreless innings. Astros LHP Framber Valdez (11-4, 2.62 ERA) is set to face Red Sox RHP Lucas Giolito (7-2, 3.80) on Sunday in the series finale. ___ AP MLB:
