| The Red Sox complete the 4 game sweep with a 10-0 drubbing of the Rangers. The Sox get 4 runs on 4 hits in the 1st and never look back. They add 6 more when they bat around in the 4th. Dustin Pedroia, David Ortiz, Mike Lowell, Jason Varitek and Jacoby Ellsbury all had 2 hit days. Both of Lowell's hits were RBI doubles, while one of Tek's was an inside-the-park home run. Kason Gabbard almost goes the distance for the shutout, but gives way to Mike Timlin in the 9th with one out and the bases loaded. Timlin preserves the shutout by getting Victor Diaz to ground into a double play to end the game. |

The indomitable Boston Red Sox enjoyed a blow-out, pounding the Texas Rangers
pitchers for 10 while Kason Gabbard(2-0), with relief help from Mike Timlin,
blanked Texas.
Gabbard looked very much in control throughout the night. He was stingy on
the mound, allowing just 5 hits and 4 walks in 8 and 1/3 innings. Gabbard
recorded 9 strikeouts seeing his ERA drop from 1.17 to 0.76. The pitchers
took over after the 4th inning as neither team was able to score again.
Brandon McCarthy(3-5) took the loss. He pitched 2/3 of an inning allowing 3
hits and 1 walk.
