On Friday night, Boston defeated the Texas Rangers by a score of 6-0. This win was aided by Chris Sale, who pitched five shutout innings in just his second outing since undergoing Tommy John surgery. The victory served as a needed bounce back for the Red Sox following a recent sweep by the Yankees that had dropped Boston into third place.
