Xander Bogaerts had three hits and three RBIs, while
Dustin Pedroia nailed a key two-run double in
Boston's 11-6 win over the Rangers. The Red Sox broke open a tight game with three runs in the fifth and four in the sixth to take command for
Rick Porcello (who was just "OK") in his third win.
Mitch Moreland also had two hits and two RBIs in the satisfying win. The Boston bullpen worked 2.1 innings—giving up one run on two hits (one of which was
Joey Gallo's 14th HR). Both
The Evil Ones and the Yankees (see what we did there?) lost, so
The Carmine Hose (despite a lousy start to the season) sit just 3.5 games out of first place in the AL East. Go figure.
