BOSTON -- Coming off a rough June, the Boston Red Sox looked like they were starting off a new month the right way.Instead they gave up their most runs at home in nearly seven seasons.C.J. Cron went 6 for 6 with two homers and five RBI, Carlos Perez had five hits and drove in six and the Los Angeles Angels walloped the Red Sox 21-2 on Saturday night to end a four-game losing streak.Honestly, were embarrassed by tonights ball game, Boston manager John Farrell said. Theres really no other way to put it. We got kicked around the ballpark tonight.Starter Clay Buchholz and relievers Robbie Ross Jr. and Pat Light each gave up six runs. Its the first time Boston has allowed 20 runs in Fenway Park since a 20-11 drubbing by the rival Yankees in August of 2009.The Red Sox were 10-16 in June. Second baseman Dustin Pedroia said the team needs to get things turned for the better quickly, but also needs to relax.Absolutely we need to get out of it, he said. We need to play better. But I mean going into the year we knew we were going to have a stretch like this. If everyone thought we were going to show up and win 140 games, thats not how baseball works. Youre going to have bumps in the road.Mookie Betts had a solo homer and three hits for Boston, which won the series opener after losing four of five. The Red Sox gave up seven unearned runs with a season-high four errors.Red Sox outfielder Ryan LaMarre pitched the ninth, giving up no runs and two hits.Hector Santiago (5-4) got the win, holding the majors highest scoring team to one unearned run and four hits over six innings.Buchholz gave up six runs -- three earned -- in 4 1/3 innings.Albert Pujols hit his 575th career homer -- a two-run shot -- and had five RBI for the Angels, who had lost 10 of their last 11 games.Cron and Perez each homered during an 11-run seventh inning. They are the first set of teammates with at least five hits and five RBI in the same game since Gene Moore and Buck Jordan for the Boston Braves in 1936, according to ESPN.Its the sixth time the Angels reached 20 runs, the last coming against Kansas City on Aug. 25, 2004. The club record for runs is 24, set at Toronto on Aug. 25, 1979.With Los Angles leading 4-0 in the fifth, Perezs three-run double capped a five-run inning that broke it open. Buchholz (3-9) was lifted with runners on first and second with one out. Travis Shaw then fired high to second for an error on a probable double-play grounder by Pujols, with the relay late to first. One out later, Cron hit his two-run single.Johnny Giavotella singled to re-load the bases before Perez cleared them with a double off the center-field wall.Cron homered over the Monster in the fourth to make it 4-0.TROUBLE AGAINST ANGELSBoston fell to 8-22 in its last 30 against Los Angeles.ELEVEN-RUN INNINGDuring the 11-run seventh, Pujols had a three-run double, Cron a two-run homer and Perez added a two-run shot, which brought mock cheers from the fans. The inning put Los Angeles ahead 20-1.TRAINERS ROOMRed Sox: Farrell said switch-hitting OF/C Blake Swihart (sprained left ankle) took BP indoors, but only from the left side to avoid stress on the ankle. ... The manager also said that RHP Joe Kelly (demoted to the minors last month) threw a 40-pitch session Saturday as he works to come back from a groin injury. When healthy, the plan is to shift him to relief and prepare him to work out of Bostons bullpen.UP NEXTAngels: RHP Matt Shoemaker (3-8, 4.12 ERA) looks for better luck this month starting in the series finale on Sunday. He was winless in six June starts, going 0-3 despite a 2.14 ERA.Red Sox: RHP Sean OSullivan (1-0, 7.94) is slated to start for Boston.

SAN DIEGO -- Major League Baseball is telling managers to cool it on arguing balls and strikes, and warning them not to rely on replay help to bolster their beefs.MLB executive Joe Torre sent a memo Friday to managers, general managers and assistant general managers that said: This highly inappropriate conduct is detrimental to the game and must stop immediately.The memo was obtained Saturday by The Associated Press.Im still going to react to what I see in front of me, Detroit Tigers manager Brad Ausmus said Saturday night.Torre, a Hall of Fame manager and former NL MVP, said skippers are increasingly relying on technology from the clubhouse or video room to argue from the dugout. Every pitch and play is monitored by teams in case they want to challenge for a replay review.He called that an express violation of the Replay Regulations, which state that `on-field personnel in the dugout may not discuss any issue with individuals in their video review room using the dugout phone other than whether to challenge a play subject to video replay review.Although disagreements over ball and strike calls are natural, the prevalence of manager ejections simply cannot continue, Torre wrote. This conduct not only delays the game, but it also has the propensity to undermine the integrity of the umpires on the field.Ausmus was ejected for arguing balls and strikes and covered home plate with a sweat shirt earlier this season, and Boston manager John Farrell was tossed during an animated dispute alongside Red Sox slugger David Ortiz.Earlier this month, Cubs manager Joe Maddon was ejected while arguing from the dugout.On Friday night, Oakland manager Bob Melvin and San Francisco skipper Bruce Bochy got tossed for arguing balls and strikes along with players on their respective teams. Cincinnati manager Bryan Price was ejected Saturday on a dispuute about a foul ball.ddddddddddddTorre concluded by advising that any manager or coach ejected for arguing balls and strikes hereafter will be disciplined, including at least a fine.Joes the boss, so I guess wed better cool it, Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said. Theres just some days you cant stand over there and not say something. Theyre always making additions, and I get speeding the game up and sometimes that sort of thing slows it down, so itll take a little while to walk through that and see exactly how to play it. But you cant take the emotion out of the game. Joe knows that as well as everybody, but I understand where hes coming from.Pittsburgh manager Clint Hurdle said Torres the memo is a very, very good reminder -- a very strong reminder -- that youre going to get fined or whatevers going to happen if you choose that route. Thats fair.One of the great things about having him in this position (is) hes been in the dugout and he is where he is. I dont know what that lens looks like where he is, but I understand I definitely dont try and do his job, Hurdle said before the Pirates played at Washington on Sunday.I listen to him and I try to honor everything that he throws out there. And I think he can respect also the feelings you have to have in the dugout if you feel things arent working out the way that youd want them to work out or youre not getting calls or youre on the short end of calls sometimes. He just let us know if you go that route whats going to happen, he said.---AP freelance writer Dave Hogg in Detroit and AP Sports Writers R.B. Fallstrom in St. Louis and Stephen Whyno in Washington contributed to this report.---Follow Bernie Wilson on Twitter at http://twitter.com/berniewilson ' ' '
