BOSTON - In a place where they hadn't won in three years, facing a pitcher that has annually dominated, this is what the Rangers did on Monday night:
Fell down by two runs two batters into the game.
Trailed heading to the ninth inning.
Blew a save in the bottom of the ninth inning.
And won.
Really, the details of how they won - 4-3 over Boston in 11 innings - are secondary to the fact that the Rangers actually won. That, if it is possible, they had a statement win in the middle of June.
