Amazingly, the Texas Rangers are among the iron of the American League—despite losing
Josh Hamilton,
Mike Napoli and
Michael Young. They didn't lose any pitching, and so far in this series it has been on display—as
Boston dropped its second straight to the Rangers, 5-1.
John Lackey was no match for
Alexi Ogando, who allowed just one run in six-plus innings. Lackey went just five innings giving up three earned runs—not horrible by his past standards in a Red Sox uniform, but not good enough.
Jacoby Ellsbury was the only multi-hit performer for the Carmine Hose. Hey, no problem, we face
Yu Darvish today.
