Red Sox Win Series Over Rangers With Shutout, Key Homers

The Boston Red Sox secured consecutive wins against the Texas Rangers with a 6-4 victory on Wednesday followed by a 5-0 shutout on Thursday, boosting their season momentum. On Wednesday, Alex Bregman was pivotal, hitting a tiebreaking two-run single and a solo homer, while Wilyer Abreu added two solo home runs, helping Boston snap a three-game losing streak. Despite Rangers manager Bruce Bochy's controversial decision to pitch to Bregman with first base open, Bregman capitalized, contributing significantly to the Red Sox's win. On Thursday, Rafael Devers led the offense with two hits including his sixth home run of the season, and Brayan Bello pitched effectively despite control issues, supported by a strong bullpen that combined for a five-hit shutout. The Red Sox defense also showed improvement, turning 34 double plays this season, and players like Ceddanne Rafaela demonstrated progress at the plate. Overall, the Red Sox have shown resilience and key individual performances as they continue their push in the MLB season against the struggling Rangers.
