Anaheim, Calif. — The Los Angeles Angels matched a franchise record with their 13th straight defeat hours after firing manager Joe Maddon, falling 6-5 to the streaking Boston Red Sox on Christian Vázquez’s go-ahead single in the 10th inning.

Interim boss Phil Nevin lost his managerial debut and Angels star Mike Trout exited with left groin tightness as Los Angeles tied the franchise mark for its longest skid, set in 1988-89.

Boston won its sixth straight with a 15-hit effort, including two from Vázquez.

Bobby Dalbec had two RBIs.
