FINAL: Red Sox 7, Rangers 3

The Boston Red Sox snapped a two-game losing streak, beating the Texas Rangers, 7-3, in the finale of their four-game series.

Starter Kason Gabbard, making his third start in relief of the injured Curt Schilling, didn't give up a hit until the fifth inning, but gave up a single and three-run homer on back-to-back pitches.

Mike Timlin, Javier Lopez, Kyle Snyder and Hideki Okajima combined for the final four-plus innings.

Dustin Pedroia's ground-rule double in the third plated two runners, and Eric Hinske had a three-run triple in the fifth for the final runs of the game.

While Boston had 10 hits, it left 10 runners on base.
