The 22-26 Red Sox were looking to continue their offensive success against Rangers starter Yovani Gallardo (4-6, 4.13 in ten games, all starts) who the Red Sox beat 4-3 on May 19 at Fenway, surrendering two homers among ten hits and four earned runs over five innings. Taking the hill for the Red Sox was Steven Wright (2-1, 3.68) making his third start of 2015 (1-1, 3.18 in those starts). Timely hitting by the Rangers and the Red Sox porous bullpen were the keys to this 7-4 Rangers victory.
The Rangers got on the board first in the bottom of the second.
