Mike Napoli will start behind the plate in Game 2 against the Red Sox.
Angels Game 2 starter Jered Weaver has a 3.38 ERA in the 141 1/3 innings he has thrown to Mathis this season, and an ugly 4.59 ERA in 68 2/3 innings with Napoli, but manager Mike Scioscia's decision was made with offense in mind. Napoli hit .272/.350/.492 this season with 20 homers and 56 RBI while his counterpart, Mathis, batted just .211/.288/.308 with five bombs. Source: Los Angeles Times
