"The lone Angels highlight Tuesday night came in the second inning, when Torii Hunter leaped above the five-foot-high right-field wall in Fenway Park to rob Boston Red Sox third baseman Adrian Beltre of a home run.

It marked the 36th time, according to the Minnesota Twins and Angels — the teams Hunter has played for in his 12-year big league career — that Hunter has robbed an opponent of a homer, and the first time he has done so as a right fielder.

Pitcher Jered Weaver thrust both arms in the air as he watched Hunter pull the ball back, and Hunter, who moved to right field Aug. 3 to accommodate new center fielder Peter Bourjos, flashed a huge grin after throwing the ball to the infield.

"That was pretty sweet," Weaver said. "He's done in it center field for so many years, now he's doing it in right. It was fun seeing his big smile after that catch."

Reporting from Boston — The Red Sox soon wiped those smiles off the Angels' faces.

Hunter has been nicknamed " Spiderman" because of his ability to scale outfield walls, but the Angels would have needed King Kong atop Godzilla's shoulders to rob Boston's Darnell McDonald of a third-inning homer.

McDonald crushed an 0-and-1 pitch from Weaver high over the bleachers atop the Green Monster in left field, the ball shattering the back window of a car parked in a garage behind the 37-foot-high wall.

An inning later, Ryan Kalish lined his first career grand slam into the Boston bullpen for a 5-0 Red Sox lead.

Hunter, at least, took some satisfaction in making a highlight-reel play at his new position.

"Just to let you know I can play anywhere," Hunter said. "Put me at shortstop and I'll play there. I'm just talking trash.""
