Game Summary
Boston Red Sox defeated the Texas Rangers 4-3. Boston overcame an early 3-0 deficit — Texas scored in the first two innings — by chipping away with a run in the seventh and a three-run eighth. Trevor Story delivered the game’s biggest blow, going 2-for-4 with a three-run homer that put Boston ahead, while Danny Jansen’s two-run contributions and Wyatt Langford’s two walks and run were notable for the Rangers. Sonny Gray worked 6.1 innings, allowing three runs on three hits with six strikeouts, and Wyatt Olds was charged with the win. Garrett Whitlock closed with a scoreless inning for the save. The eighth-inning three-run homer by Story was the pivotal turning point.
