Thank you and welcome to the Boston Red Sox Darnell McDonald! The Red Sox broke their losing streak with a come-from-behind win over the Texas Rangers in Fenway Park. Boston is celebrating tonight. And so am I! Finally some joy returns. Boston was error-free and got back the hitting and had good relief pitching. Now if the Red Sox can just do something about opponents stealing bases. Not being able to throw runners out could be the major defect for the team this season. But for now Boston just has to do it again tomorrow - get the win.
