The Texas Rangers managed to score four runs, but the Boston Red Sox edged them out with five runs in extra innings.
Remember when the Rangers had just swept the White Sox and were a game below .500, only 2.5 games behind first place? Although that was just over two weeks ago, the situation has deteriorated significantly. Texas has now matched their worst record of the season, being nine games under .500 and trailing the division by 8.5 games.
Corey Seager delivered a pivotal two-run home run to tie the game at Fenway Park, momentarily lifting the Rangers’ hopes. Despite this dramatic equalizer, the team fell short in the end, succumbing to a 5-4 defeat in extra innings against the Boston Red Sox.
The loss added another frustrating chapter to the Rangers’ challenging season, highlighting their ongoing struggles and the difficulty of securing wins in tightly contested games.
Player of the Game: Corey Seager contributed two of Texas’ six hits, including a two-run home run that tied the game late. However, hopes for a win were pinned on Gerson Garabito and Walter Pennington during extra innings, and the results were less than favorable.
Up Next: The Rangers will continue their East Coast road trip with RHP Jose Urena scheduled to pitch against Boston’s RHP Kutter Crawford.
The game at Fenway Park on Tuesday evening is set to start at 6:10 pm CT and will be broadcast on BS Southwest.
