The Texas Rangers stunned the Boston Red Sox 6-1 at Fenway Park Tuesday night, but it wasn’t just the scoreline that turned heads. Nathan Eovaldi, returning to face his former team, dominated on the mound with seven strikeouts over six innings, allowing just one run on five hits despite rainy conditions that delayed the start of the game
What made this victory stand out was the Rangers’ offensive explosion-16 hits, just two shy of their season high. The catalyst? Newly appointed hitting coach Bret Boone, who joined the dugout after the team dismissed Donnie Ecker. Boone’s arrival seemed to spark immediate results, as Texas batted around in a five-run fourth inning, providing ample support for Eovaldi and marking the club’s first back-to-back wins since mid-April
Every Ranger except Josh Jung notched a hit, while Boston’s only run came in the sixth, when Kristian Campbell drove in Alex Bregman. Red Sox starter Lucas Giolito struggled, giving up 10 hits and six runs in just 3 2/3 innings, as Boston dropped its fifth game in six tries
With Eovaldi’s mastery and Boone’s impact already felt, the Rangers look poised for a new chapter. But was this just a spark-or the start of something bigger?
