BOSTON — Matt Thaiss sat quietly at his locker, his head down, distraught over what had just transpired.
The Angels backup catcher, who was making just his third start of the season, allowed his glove to be hit by two Boston Red Sox hitters, accounting for two critical catcher’s interference calls in the decisive eighth inning of the Angels’ 9-7 loss.
“It’s awful,” Thaiss said. “It’s the reason we lost. It stings. I’m sick to my stomach over it. We’ll rebound tomorrow.”
