Red Sox attempt to avert sweep vs. Angels behind James Paxton

James Paxton will be on the mound for the Boston Red Sox on Wednesday night against the Los Angeles Angels in Anaheim, Calif., something that both the left-hander and the organization couldn't be sure would ever happen just a few months ago. Paxton made his first two starts with the Red Sox earlier this month, a year and a half after he signed with the club as a free agent. The Red Sox inked a deal with Paxton in December 2021 even though he was expected to miss the entire 2022 season because of Tommy John surgery. The Red Sox paid Paxton $6 million in 2022 essentially to rehab the former Mariner and Yankee.
