ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) - The Boston Red Sox have scratched outfielder J.D. Drew with tightness in his left hamstring.

Boston made the move Tuesday night just a few minutes before the Red Sox faced the Los Angeles Angels in the second game of their series.

Drew hit a two-run double in the ninth inning of Boston's 6-3 victory over the Angels on Monday night.

Drew has hits in five of the last six games for the Red Sox. He is 7 for 32 with four RBIs on Boston's 10-game road trip, which ends Wednesday.

Darnell McDonald replaced Drew in right field against the Angels, and second baseman Jed Lowrie took Drew's No. 2 spot in the lineup.
