Like has happened so often this season, former Bowie High School standout Brandon Workman was the victim of not enough run support.
Workman allowed just two earned runs on six hits while striking out five and walking two as the American League West-leading Los Angeles Angels defeated the Boston Red Sox 4-2 at Fenway Park.
Overall, Workman threw 89 pitches, 59 of them for strikes.
“I was kind of on the aggressive side towards them,” Workman told the Boston Globe after the game. “I was able to do that tonight. Made it to where I was getting guys to swing at some pitches out of the zone for me, because I was throwing a lot of strikes.”
With the loss, Workman dropped to 1-7 on the season with a 4.26 earned run average.
Boston also committed a pair of errors.
Workman pulled through the first couple of innings without any damage, but the Angels got to him in the third.
Kole Calhoun walked, followed by a Mike Trout RBI double. Albert Pujols finished off the scoring with a single to score Trout from second.
Boston scored its lone run for Workman during the fourth inning as fellow Texan Brock Holt singled to score Mookie Betts. Read more in the mid-week edition of The Bowie News.

No plant has been more enjoyable in The Garden Guy’s trials than the Forged in Fire heliopsis or false sunflower. There have been a lot of varieties in recent years, but I am going to have to put this one on the must-have list.
Botanically speaking it is Heliopsis helioanthoides, native to the United States. Despite being native to 42 states, many new varieties, award winners and press coverage notwithstanding, it has not been an easy plant to find at the garden center.
Most likely you have never said, “Let’s go to the garden center and pick up a flat of false sunflowers.

As a card-carrying member of the Sons of the Republic of Texas, I couldn’t wait to get my hands on the Shadowland Giant Lone Star hosta.
Make no mistake, I don’t believe this hosta was discovered in the shady soil under a Texas Madrone in Guadalupe National Park. It was actually a sport or morphological change in s hosta named Key West. That sounds like a fairy tale story all its own.
But Shadowland Giant Lone Star has winner written all over it. It is large and has thick leaves. When 12 straight days of rain brought out a rainforest of slugs and other forest floor creatures, the bane of hosta growers everywhere, it didn’t load up with holes but simply got more beautiful.

Supertunia Mini Vista Pink Cloud petunia is having its debut year or thanks to Susan Middleton Turner in south Georgia’s zone 9 Miller County it’s breakout year.
Susan’s house looks quite like a movie set, and you would have to think that Supertunia Mini Vista petunias play a prominent role.
Last year it was the award-winning Supertunia Mini Vista Indigo that dazzled with incredible color. The petunias were planted in banister baskets across the front of the house. I featured her photos in an article I wrote about Mini Vista petunias.
