The Boston Red Sox beat the Texas Rangers 6-3 on Saturday at Fenway Park, with Ceddanne Rafaela delivering a go-ahead, two-run single in the seventh inning. The game is tied before Rafaela’s hit, which comes with two outs and two strikes and the bases loaded. His single off Rangers reliever Robby Ahlstrom breaks the tie and extends Boston’s lead, pushing the score to 4-2. From there, the Red Sox maintain control and finish with a 6-3 victory.
The win gives Boston a series win at Fenway Park, its first such series victory since April 6-8, when it took two of three games from Milwaukee. Earlier in the series, Boston also won the opener against Texas on Friday, 10-1. With Saturday’s result, the Red Sox complete the weekend set in front of their home crowd.
