Sox Complete 4 Game Sweep of Texas

The Red Sox beat the Rangers 8-2 on Patriots Day for the 4th straight victory against Texas. Boston scored 5 runs in the 4th and 3 more in the 5th. Texas pitching was abysmal giving up 12 hits and 11 walks. Youk's hit streak came to an end, Lugo went 4-4, Big Papi looked like he is over the hump, Ellsbury had 2 stolen bases and Thurston had a really bad day with a strikeout and 4 pop ups leaving 9 runners on base. No Manny, no Tek, no Lowell...no problem. Buchholz had his first win of the season. Sox win 8-3.
