Red Sox Repeat 3-0 Feat : Baseball: For the second game in a row, the Angels are limited to four hits and no runs.

BOSTON —  As a youngster in the Boston suburb of Billerica, Gary DiSarcina suffered with the Red Sox through countless dreary summers and disappointing autumns.

“I grew up watching them and they’d break my heart every year,” he said.

They are still breaking his heart. Only now, they’re doing it by winning.

DiSarcina, the Angels’ shortstop, could only shake his head in disbelief Saturday after Frank Viola, Greg Harris and Jeff Reardon combined for Boston’s second successive 3-0, four-hit victory over the Angels at Fenway Park.

After years of wishing the Red Sox would assemble a strong pitching staff and staunch defense, DiSarcina watched them use those assets to defeat the Angels in the first two games of the three-game series. Viola (5-2) walked five and struck out three, a performance that was less impressive than Roger Clemens’ complete-game performance Friday but no less frustrating for DiSarcina.

“I watched them beat the Angels in 1986 (in the AL playoffs) and I was rooting for them then,” DiSarcina said. “I just want to win one game here, to say we beat them. It would be so nice to beat these guys here one time. Just one time.”

DiSarcina acknowledged he’s as much to blame as anyone for the Angels’ 18-inning drought, their longest since they were shut out in consecutive games last season by the Texas Rangers’ Nolan Ryan and Kenny Rogers on July 7 and, after the All-Star break, by the New York Yankees’ Scott Sanderson on July 11.

DiSarcina came to bat in the second inning Saturday with the bases loaded, thanks to a spurt of wildness by Viola that produced a single and two walks, but DiSarcina grounded into an inning-ending force play. Boston had a 1-0 lead in the sixth against Julio Valera (2-2) when an error and two walks again loaded the bases for DiSarcina. This time, he lofted a first-pitch fly ball to left that was caught by Herm Winningham.

“We’re stuck in neutral right now,” DiSarcina said of the offensive woes behind the Angels’ four losses in five games. “I don’t know if we’ve lost our aggressiveness coming in here, or what, but we’ve got to put ourselves back in the driver’s seat . . .

“They look pretty good. I haven’t seen them much this year, but they look like they’re doing all the little things, like moving runners over, getting the sacrifice fly when they need one. All my friends and family said they never run, and then Jack Clark steals a base. They tell me the Red Sox haven’t bunted for a month, and Jody Reed bunts a runner over on Friday.”

He needs either new scouting reports or new relatives. Winningham singled and stole second to get into scoring position for Reed’s RBI single in the fifth, and Winningham scored Boston’s final run in the seventh on a double, a fly ball and Clark’s sacrifice fly.

The Angels need production from the heart of their batting order--the 3-4-5 hitters are 0 for 20 in two games--and they need to capitalize on the few chances they get against pitchers such as Clemens and Viola.

“(Friday) night was a great pitching performance. Today, Viola was walking a lot of guys but he was able to get outs when he needed to,” second baseman Rene Gonzales said. “Viola kept us off balance with the way he mixes his pitches. There weren’t too many good hacks off him at all. So I guess that is a great performance, too, because we couldn’t put him away. It was different, though. With Viola, it seemed like we had some hope.”

Aside from the two bases-loaded situations in which DiSarcina failed to drive in a run, the Angels’ best scoring chance occurred in the fifth, when DiSarcina and Luis Polonia lined back-to-back singles to left. They moved to second and third on a grounder to short by Chad Curtis, but Junior Felix was robbed by Wade Boggs on a grounder to third to end the inning.

“Basically, it’s been good pitching. I can’t see us doing anything we didn’t do,” Angel Manager Buck Rodgers said of the two shutouts. “Hubie Brooks and Fitzy (Mike Fitzgerald) aren’t swinging the bat good and we screwed up a sacrifice bunt (by Gonzales in the sixth inning) that would have given us a chance to score, so we’re not helping ourselves very much. But I think when you get Clemens and Viola back to back, you just take a bite out of it. You can’t force it. You’ve got to give them credit. What we do (today) and in New York will be a little more indicative of what we can do.”
