ARLINGTON, Texas -- Wyatt Langford and Adolis Garcia hit solo home runs in the sixth inning, capping a day that started with the return of ace Jacob deGrom, and the Texas Rangers outlasted the Boston Red Sox 3-2 on Sunday.
The homers came after Boston scored twice in the top of the inning off Texas' bullpen to spoil deGrom's first start of the season. DeGrom allowed two hits in five shutout innings, lifted after nearing his pitch count at 73.
"Really good slider and fastball, used the changeup well today," Texas manager Bruce Bochy said of deGrom. "A good start by Jacob. He got us to where we were hoping. Really terrific job today."
