ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) Dustin Pedroia hit a go-ahead, three-run homer off Huston Street with two outs in the ninth inning and Xander Bogaerts followed with another home run to lead the Boston Red Sox over the Los Angeles Angels 5-3 Sunday.

Street (3-2) entered with a 3-0 lead, walked Jackie Bradley Jr. and allowed Aaron Hill's single. After a pair of strikeouts, Mookie Betts singled in a run and Pedroia homered to center on a 1-0 slider as Mike Trout climbed the center-field fence in vain.

Bogaerts fell behind 0-2 in the count, then homered on another slider from Street, who blew a save for the third time in 12 chances.

Pedroia hit his second go-ahead homer run in the ninth inning or later. The other was a tiebreaking, two-run drive off Street in the 10th inning of a 13-11 win at Colorado on June 24, 2010.

Clay Buchholz (4-9) pitched three scoreless innings, and Brad Ziegler got three outs for his 20th save in 23 opportunities.
