Texas RangersvsBoston Red Sox
TEX 6/BOS 4
Things to say
Rangers beat the Red Sox 6-4 at Fenway.
01
opener
Rangers took it 6-4 at Fenway. Sox bats showed up late but Texas had already done the damage. Sunday night game on Peacock, decent watch.
02
key player
Texas heart of the order kept turning the lineup over — Sox starter couldn't get into his stuff past the fifth.
03
hot take
Cora went to the pen too early again. You can't keep burning relievers in June and expect anything left in September.
04
deep cut
Boston's now 29-40 — that's a sub-.420 ballclub at home against a Rangers team playing .500 ball. Fenway used to mean something.
05
exit
Anyway, we'll see if the Sox can salvage anything before the road trip — they're running out of runway.
The recap
Rangers walked into Fenway and walked out with a 6-4 win, quieting the Sunday Night crowd on Peacock. Texas got just enough offense to stay ahead and kept Boston's heart of the order from doing real damage when it mattered.
Red Sox bullpen couldn't keep the lid on once the starter handed it off, and that was the ballgame. Boston drops to 29-40 and the season's starting to feel like one long getaway day.
