Will Smith Blows Save, Boston Red Sox Rally Past Slumping Texas Rangers
The Texas Rangers received some much-needed reinforcements to start their last homestand of the season.
But they failed to get a much-needed win.
After welcoming back Josh Jung and Adolis García to the lineup, the Rangers bullpen failed again and the Boston Red Sox rallied for a 4-2 victory Monday night at Globe Life Field.
Will Smith, coming in relief after a spectacular job by starter Jordan Montgomery, immediately got into trouble in the eighth and surrendered the go-ahead runs. Texas dropped to 82-68 after its fourth consecutive loss, damaging its prospects in both the American League West and Wild Card races.
Obviously, things can change in the hurry with bunched-up nature of the Al postseason contenders. But the Rangers aren’t doing themselves any favors losing three times to the Cleveland Guardians and to Boston – two clubs out of realistic playoff contention.
