The Boston Red Sox’s losing streak extended to four games on Sunday as they were defeated by the Texas Rangers, 10-2. The Sox were without starter James Paxton, who left the game after just five pitches with a calf strain. The loss dropped the Red Sox to 61-55 on the season.
The Red Sox have now lost seven of their last 10 games and 11 of their last 15. They are currently in third place in the American League East, behind the New York Yankees and Tampa Bay Rays.
The Red Sox will look to turn things around when they open a three-game series with the Texas Rangers on Tuesday. The Rangers are 55-63 and have also been struggling recently, losing seven of their last 10 games.
Red Sox starting pitcher Brayan Bello will face Rangers starter Tyler Mahle in the opener. Bello is 10-5 with a 5.16 ERA this season, while Mahle is 0-1 with a 1.80 ERA.
The Red Sox are hoping to get back on track against the Rangers. They have been struggling at the plate recently, and they will need to improve their offense if they want to snap their losing streak.
Here are some things to watch for in the series:
- Can the Red Sox get their offense going? They have been struggling to score runs recently, and they will need to improve if they want to win games.
- How will Brayan Bello pitch against the Rangers? Bello has been inconsistent this season, and he will need to be sharp if he wants to give the Red Sox a chance to win.
- Can the Red Sox bullpen hold up? The bullpen has been overworked recently, and they will need to be fresh if they want to help the Red Sox win games.
The Red Sox and Rangers will play a three-game series at Fenway Park. The first game will be on Tuesday at 7:10 p.m. ET. The game will be televised on ESPN and WEEI-FM 93.7.
