Rangers get rare series win over Boston (AP) (sports.yahoo.com)

Nelson Cruz homered and finished with three hits, helping the Texas Rangers beat Boston 6-3 on Sunday for their first series win over the Red Sox in 12 years. The Rangers had 12 hits one day after Jon Lester flirted with a perfect game before settling for a two-hitter in Boston's 8-1 victory. Cruz's 17th homer and 10th in his last 17 games drove in Texas' final run.
