BOSTON: 0 1 4 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 - 8 9 0

Excitement in Fenway Park tonight. For the second game in a row, the Boston Red Sox have a walk-off win against the Texas Rangers. Not only a walk-off game, but an extra-innings game. Not only an extra-innings game, but a Grand Slam game! Good energy has made a return to the Red Sox. Now have work on the starting pitching. Have no problem that Beckett pitched into the seventh inning and his being taken out then was the right move. Just need better beginnings in the games. Tomorrow is the third and final game of the series with Texas, but Boston has already won the series. Hurrah!
