Boston (53-34) hit .349 and outscored Colorado, Toronto and San Diego 51-30 during an 8-1 homestand. Jacoby Ellsbury had three of the Red Sox's 18 hits and Dustin Pedroiadelivered a two-run double in Thursday's 8-2 victory over the Padres.
The Red Sox have hit .319 and averaged 6.0 runs while winning 18 of 23 at Fenway Park, but batted .247 and scored 3.8 while losing seven of 10 on the road.
Boston manager John Farrell hopes his club can turn things around this week at Los Angeles, Seattle and Oakland before the All-Star break.
"I think it's important to have that momentum going into the break," he told the Red Sox's official website. "You never want to have a stretch where you start to maybe slide back from the confidence that's been built or the wins that we've been able to amass.
"So we're going to be challenged not only in terms of the teams we're playing. Obviously the Angels are playing better now than when they were in town here last."
Los Angeles (41-44) lost two of three at Fenway last month, but has won eight of nine heading into this three-game set.
"It's all about momentum," slugger Josh Hamilton said after the Angels scored three in the ninth to rally for a 6-5 win over St. Louis on Thursday. "We kind of feed off each other, especially during this little but of a stretch we've had."
