The Red lost and got swept by the Texas Rangers Sunday 4-3 by a walkoff from the Rangers. The Sox had a 3-1 up until the 6th inning when the Rangers put 2 on the board to even the score at 3-3. Lester would be pulled and it all came into the 9th, when Clayton Mortenson was trusted to keep this game tied. Well, he'd get the first two batters to strike out but Elvis Andrus hit a single to center field and then he fell apart. He threw a wild pitch which would let Andrus advance to second, and then he was pretty much forced to intentionally walk Lance Berkman, after throwing 2 straight balls. Adrian Beltre would step up to the plate and he would hit a single that would send home Andrus and the Rangers would walk off for the win and sweep, sadly... Our offense was not there much this series getting 4 total runs the whole series and only getting 5 hits today, and the pitching was also not the best, referring back to the 2 first games. Today was a tough game, Yu Darvish struck out 14 Red Sox. The only bright side of the offense was Ortiz and Ross each hitting a home run today, and helping Ortiz extend his hit streak to 25 games, techinically, dating back from last season. I don't even want to talk about this series anymore...
ANYWAYS, the Sox will return back to Fenway to take on the Twins, who have been a struggling team. Hopefully the Red Sox can get back on track after getting swept by the Rangers and now being tied with the best record in American League, at 20-11, of course, with the Rangers.
