just 4 2/3 innings. The Boston Red Sox beat up the former Arizona ace that the Angels acquired Sunday, quite literally in the fifth, actually, when Sox first baseman KEVIN YOUKILIS hit a
line drive that nailed Haren in the right elbow. Haren didn’t seem to be seriously injured, but Angels coaches pulled him after that with the Sox up, 2-1. [UPDATE 8:57 P.M.: Haren left the
game with a bruised right forearm, team officials said. He was examined by Dr. Craig Milhouse, the team physician, and he will be re-examined Tuesday by Angels orthopedist Dr. Lewis Yocum.
The Angels said Haren would not have X-rays on Monday night.] Overall, Haren gave up two earned runs, seven hits, and struck out eight. He threw 62 pitches, 46 of which were strikes. He also
gave up a home run to Sox slugger David Ortiz in the third inning that curled into the right field corner. -- Baxter Holmes
