The Rangers scored five runs, all on home runs, and held leads of 1-0, 4-1, and 5-3 but did not win in part because they couldn’t stay out of their own way.
Mitch Moreland contributed the landscape shifting hit for Boston, a two-run home run that brought the Red Sox back to within 4-3 and started their comeback bid. Moreland’s homer probably wouldn’t have gone out of the park except it bounced off, up, and over Shin-Soo Choo’s glove during his attempt to rob Moreland of a hit at the wall.
