ANAHEIM, Calif. � Jeff Mathis hit an RBI single in the 12th inning, Torii Hunter had a two-run double and an RBI triple, and the Los Angeles Angels beat the Boston Red Sox 5-4 on Thursday.

Boston slugger David Ortiz went 0 for 7 and stranded 12 runners. He struck out three times, once with the bases loaded in the fourth, and left the bases loaded again in the 12th with a dribbler in front of the plate as his average plummeted to .208.
The five-time All-Star has gone 144 at-bats since his last home run on Sept. 22 against Cleveland�s Zach Jackson at Fenway Park. He is one at-bat from equaling his longest dry spell.
Boston manager Terry Francona was ejected by plate umpire Bill Miller in the ninth after Julio Lugo � who tied a career high with five hits � took a called strike with a 3-0 count on him. Nine Red Sox batters looked at called third strikes to that point, compared to only one Angels batter.
Juan Rivera led off the 12th with a single against Manny Delcarmen (1-1). Pinch-runner Reggie Willits advanced on Erick Aybar�s sacrifice and scored when Mathis lined a 1-1 pitch to left-center.
Jason Bulger (1-1) got two outs for the win.
An umpire�s ruling against the Red Sox in the third was reversed, enabling them to take a 2-1 lead. Dustin Pedroia, who had four hits, led off with a fly ball that landed just inside the right-field line and bounced into the stands after a long run by Bobby Abreu.
First base ump and crew chief Derryl Cousins called it a foul ball, and Francona came out to argue. Cousins then conferred with his three colleagues, and Pedroia ended up with a ground-rule double. He scored from third on Jason Bay�s groundout.
Pedroia returned to the lineup after missing two games because of a groin strain. One of his hits was a two-out RBI single against reliever Scot Shields that tied the score 4-all in the eighth � increasing Shields� ERA to 7.90 in 16 appearances.
The Angels tied a club record with three triples, including one by Abreu in the eighth. Abreu tried to score on Hunter�s flyout to short right field and was easily thrown out by J.D. Drew.
Ervin Santana, one of the mainstays of the Angels� injury-ravaged rotation, made his season debut after missing the first 32 games because of elbow pain. The right-hander, who pitched in his first All-Star game last season, allowed three runs and seven hits over five innings.
Santana struck out five, including Ortiz on a 3-2 pitch with the bases loaded to end the fourth after the Red Sox tied the score 3-all with a two-out RBI single by Jacoby Ellsbury.
Brad Penny was charged with four runs and seven hits over 6 1-3 innings. The Red Sox right-hander was replaced by Hideki Okajima with a 3-2 lead after giving up a one-out triple by Erick Aybar, who scored the tying run after Bay made a diving catch of Mathis� sacrifice fly in left field.
Notes: The Angels are 13-0 when Hunter has at least three RBIs. ... Boston�s starting pitchers have an AL-worst 5.90 ERA.
