The Boston Red Sox defeated the Texas Rangers 11-6, driven by Wilyer Abreu's two-run homer and RBI single, and Nick Sogard's two-run single in his major league debut. Ceddanne Rafaela and Rafael Devers also contributed with home runs for the Red Sox, who are chasing an AL wild card spot and have now won consecutive games for the first time since before the All-Star break. Despite hitting four homers, including two by Corey Seager, the Rangers' pitching, led by José Ureña, faltered, allowing seven runs in less than five innings. The Rangers, who have been struggling post-All-Star break, have now lost three consecutive games and remain in third place in the AL West. Both teams showcased strong offensive performances, with the Red Sox collecting 16 hits, overshadowing the Rangers' power-hitting display.
