"Tonight was a little bit different than it's been the last couple games," said Red Sox manager John Farrell. "Tonight was the ability to gain a little momentum, keep it going, string some hits together to build a big inning. To see the momentum built, particularly here, and feed off the energy of our crowd, just a really good seventh inning tonight."
The rally started against Rangers lefty starter Martin Perez and continued in a big way against reliever Sam Dyson (no outs, four hits, three walks). After Josh Rutledge tied it with a pinch-hit single, Mitch Moreland scored the go-ahead run on a wild pitch.
