Texas RangersvsBoston Red Sox
TEX 3/BOS 6
Things to say
Boston beat Texas 6-3 at Fenway.
01
opener
Sox took care of business at Fenway, 6-3 over the Rangers. Felt like Boston controlled it from the middle innings on. Texas never really threatened late.
02
key player
The Boston bats in the heart of the order did the damage — Rangers couldn't get into his stuff once he turned the lineup over.
03
hot take
Texas manager went to the pen way too early, that's the whole ballgame right there.
04
deep cut
Rangers are sitting at 34-36 but still ahead of Boston in the standings — Sox are 29-39 and somehow won this one going away.
05
exit
Anyway, we'll see if Texas can bounce back tomorrow before it turns into a getaway day.
The recap
Boston took care of business at Fenway, knocking off Texas 6-3 to snap a little of that sub-.500 funk. Rangers starter couldn't quite get into his stuff, and once the heart of the order got a look at him second time through, the Sox punched a couple across and never looked back.
Bullpen slammed the door late, which has been the question mark all year for this Boston club. Quiet getaway-day win, but they'll take it.
