ANAHEIM, Calif. — Mike Trout returned from his second straight All-Star MVP performance with a home run with two outs in the ninth inning Friday night, lifting the Los Angeles Angels to a 1-0 victory over the Boston Red Sox after they were no-hit through six innings by Wade Miley.

Trout, who led off Tuesday’s All-Star game with a home run against major league ERA leader Zack Greinke, drove an 0-1 pitch from Red Sox closer Koji Uehara (2-4) way over the fence in left-center for his American League-leading 27th homer.

The win went to Joe Smith (2-1), who pitched a perfect but painful ninth. He limped off the field after Mike Napoli’s line drive deflected off his right shin before shortstop Erick Aybar threw Napoli out to end the inning.

Miley retired his first 16 batters before walking Chris Iannetta with one out in the sixth. Kole Calhoun broke up the no-hit bit in the seventh with a leadoff double over the head of center fielder Mookie Betts that hit the fence on the fly. It came on the left-hander’s first pitch of the inning and 85th of the game.

Calhoun was stranded at third when shortstop Xander Bogaerts went deep into the hole for Aybar’s grounder and threw him out. The Angels, who scored 10 or more runs four times during their nine-game trip leading into the break, are hitless in their last 30 at-bats at home with runners in scoring position.

Red Sox Manager John Farrell pulled Miley after Miley issued a leadoff walk to David Freese on his 101st pitch. Miley, who came in with a 4.80 ERA, struck out six in his first start since giving up six runs through 5 1/3 innings in a 5-3 home loss to the Yankees last Sunday.

Miley took a no-hitter into the fifth inning against the Angels on May 24 at Fenway Park before giving up a two-out single by C.J. Cron after a walk to Iannetta that also ended a chance at a perfect game. Miley went eight innings that afternoon in a 6-1 victory.

Angels left-hander C.J. Wilson scattered five hits and three walks over eight innings, striking out four. It was the third time in his last five starts that the Angels didn’t score while he was in the game.

Red Sox second baseman Dustin Pedroia was 0 for 4 in his first game off the disabled list.

TRAINER’S ROOM

RED SOX: Right-hander Clay Buchholz, seeking a second opinion on the strained flexor muscle in his forearm that has sidelined him since July 11, is planning to see Dr. James Andrews in Pensacola, Florida, on Wednesday. His turn in the rotation Tuesday against Houston will be taken by rookie left-hander Brian Johnson, who will make his big league debut following his promotion last Saturday from Triple-A Pawtucket.

ANGELS: Right-hander Huston Street, sidelined by a groin strain that occurred on his final pitch of a save at Colorado on July 8, threw a bullpen session and is expected to be available to pitch Saturday. He needs one save to become the 27th player with at least 300. … Right-hander Jered Weaver, sidelined because of inflammation in his right hip, could return to the rotation as soon as next weekend. He threw 50 pitches during a simulated game Thursday and will need at least one more session before the club determines whether he is ready to return to the rotation against Texas.

UP NEXT

RED SOX: Right-hander Rick Porcello (4-9) will be pitching on nine days’ rest against the Angels, who beat him 12-5 on May 22 in Boston after he gave up seven runs in 4 1/3 innings. His last outing before the All-Star break was a 6-3 victory against Miami on July 8 at Fenway Park, ending a stretch of eight starts in which he was 0-7 with an 8.18 ERA.

ANGELS: Right-hander Garrett Richards (9-6) will pitch on eight days’ rest in his rematch with Porcello. He has gone 7 2/3 innings in two of his last three outings, but hasn’t pitched eight full innings since throwing a five-hit shutout at Dodger Stadium on Aug. 4, 2014. Three starts after that, he suffered a season-ending knee injury covering first base at Boston.
