ARLINGTON, Texas - Ian Kinsler homered and drove in two runs,
Dustin Nippert pitched six solid innings and the Texas Rangers
passed Boston in the AL wild-card race, beating the Red Sox 4-3
Sunday.
The Rangers took two of three in the weekend series to move a
half-game ahead of Boston.
Kinsler, who was back in the lineup one day after he was hit by a
pitch that ricocheted off his shoulder to his head, went deep for
the second straight day and had an RBI single in the third that gave
Texas a 3-1 lead.
