| The Red Sox are handed their first loss of the season by just one run in Texas. A 2-run Kenny Lofton double with 2 runners on in the 5th is the deciding hit in this one. The Red Sox would put runners on 2nd and 3rd with just one out in the 7th yet failed to score, and pushed one across in the 8th but couldn't get the tying run in. |
