It was a Wild West contest in Rangers Ballpark between the Boston Red Sox and the Texas Rangers for the Wild Card top position and the Red Sox made a major comeback to maintain first place. Newcomer Victor Martinez provided the go-ahead/winning run in Boston's sizzling six-run ninth inning. The duel in the West will continue tomorrow between the same two contestants and Boston will be going for the win of the three-game series. Today Boston added a former Red Sox player to the team. Shortstop Alex Gonzalez was traded to the Red Sox from the Cincinnati Reds. He played for Boston in 2006. Welcome Back Alex!
