The Red Sox made it back-to-back wins and they clinched a series win with Tuesday night's 9-4 win over the Texas Rangers at Fenway Park.  The Red Sox added to a 1-0 lead with 5 runs in the 5th inning.  With taking the 1st 2 Games of the Series, the Sox will go for their 6th series sweep of the season and their 1st of the season at Fenway with Wednesday's series finale.

Kutter's Night: Kutter Crawford entered Tuesday's start having allowed 13 Home Runs and 22 runs over his previous 4 outings. Crawford retired the 1st 16 hitters he faced before allowing 3 straight hits with 1 out in the 6th. Crawford exited after giving up an RBI Double to Marcus Semien and a walk to Corey Seager to load the bases.  Cam Booser came in and allowed an RBI singled and walked 2 straight hitters with the bases loaded.  Lucas Sims entered the game and got the final 2 outs to leave the bases loaded.  Crawford did end up with the win to improve his record to 8-9.   

#50's Final Line- 5.1 IP. 3 Hits. 4 R. 4 ER. 1 BB. 4 Ks. 0 HR Allowed.

Pen Story I: Kenley Jansen was called upon to get the final out in the 8th inning and he closed out the game with a 1-2-3 9th for his 22nd save of the season and the 442nd of his career.

Pen Story II: Alex Cora went to Bailey Horn to face Corey Seager with a runner at 2nd and 2 outs in the 7th inning.  Monday night, in a similar situation, Seager tied the game at 3-3 on a 2-run Home Run off of Horn on the 1st pitch of the at-bat.  Horn got him on a hard-hit liner to 1st to end the inning to keep it a 6-4 game Tuesday night.  Horn took the mound for the 8th and retired the side 1-2-3.

Sox Scoring- Rafael Devers got the Red Sox on the board 1st with a 2-out, RBI Double in the 1st Inning.  It stayed 1-0 until the Bottom of the 5th when the Red Sox scored 5 runs. Monday night's hero Rob Refsnyder made it 3-0 with a 2-run single and Connor Wong followed with a 3-run Home Run that made it 6-0.  It was Wong's 11th of the season.  Sox added 3 more runs in the 8th inning with Nick Sogard knocking in a pair with a single.

Ceddanne Is Hitting- Ceddanne got things going with a leadoff single in the Red Sox 5-run 5th Inning.  Rafaela has hit safely in 6 in a row and 16 of his last 18 Games.  He collected another single in the 6th and has 7 multi-hit games over his current 18-Game stretch.
