Texas Rangers rally for 5-3 victory over Boston Red Sox

<p>ARLINGTON, Texas &mdash; David Dahl and Brock Holt hit RBI singles in Texas’ three-run eighth, and the Rangers took advantage of a costly error on Alex Verdugo, topping the Boston Red Sox 5-3 on Sunday.</p>
<p>Isiah Kiner-Falefa homered to help Texas take three of four games against the AL East leaders and win consecutive games for the first time since April 18-19. Josh Sborz (3-1) got three outs for the win, and Ian Kennedy worked the ninth for his seventh save in seven opportunities.</p>
<p>Xander Bogaerts had three hits for Boston, including his fifth homer. Verdugo finished with two hits.</p>
<p>The Red Sox built a 3-1 lead with runs in the second, fourth and seventh innings.</p>
<p>Bogaerts scored the game’s first run after he reached on a towering popup that second baseman Nick Solak lost in the sun. He advanced to third on Marwin Gonzalez’s double and scampered home on Hunter Renfroe’s grounder to Solak.</p>
<p>Bogaerts connected in the fourth against Mike Foltynewicz. But the Rangers got one back in the seventh on Kiner-Falefa’s homer and went ahead to stay in the eighth.</p>
