ANAHEIM -- Red Sox outfielder Jason Bay needed few words to sum up the Red Sox's performance in Game 1 on Thursday night.
"Four singles and three errors aren't going to win many games," Bay said. "We need more offense."
Bay spoke in the Red Sox's clubhouse after Angels pitchers John Lackey and Darren Oliver combined on a four-hit shutout and a 5-0 victory over the Red Sox in Game 1 of the American League Division Series. It's the first time Boston was shutout in a playoff game since Game 2 of the 1995 ALDS against Orel Hershiser and the Indians. That ended a streak of 69 consecutive playoff games in which the Red Sox had scored.
The Red Sox go into Game 2 on Friday night with the mission of getting more runners on base, do something -- anything -- to manufacture some runs and trust in starter Josh Beckett.
