Abreu homers twice, Duran hits tiebreaking shot as Red Sox beat Rangers 7-2

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Wilyer Abreu homered twice and tied a career high with four RBIs, leading the Boston Red Sox to a 7-2 victory over the Texas Rangers on Sunday.

Boston leadoff man Jarren Duran, who had three hits, connected on a tiebreaking homer for the second time in less than three weeks at the home of the Rangers.

The first of those two made Duran the MVP in the AL’s 5-3 victory in the All-Star Game on July 16. The second added to his official total, a solo shot that was his 14th and put Boston up 3-2 in the fifth inning.
