Wyatt Langford and Adolis Garcia each hit a solo home run in the bottom of the sixth inning Sunday to help the Texas Rangers defeat the Boston Red Sox 3-2 in Arlington, Texas.
Both home runs came against Boston starter Richard Fitts and came after Boston took a 2-1 lead in the top of the sixth. Garcia also homered in Saturday's 4-3 victory over Boston.
Fitts (0-1) went six innings and surrendered three runs on six hits. He struck out four.
Shawn Armstrong (1-0) earned the win despite allowing two runs (one earned) in one inning of relief. Luke Jackson struck out Alex Bregman with runners on first and second to end the game. It was his second save.
Texas has won three in a row since losing to Boston on Opening Day.
Texas starter Jacob deGrom pitched five shutout innings. He allowed two hits, walked two and struck out six. deGrom was limited to nine starts in the past two seasons after having his second Tommy John surgery.
Ezequiel Duran's sacrifice fly in the first inning drove in Jake Burger and handed the Rangers a 1-0 lead.
Boston scored twice in the sixth. Wilyer Abreu's two-out double against Armstrong allowed Kristian Campbell to score from first to make it a 1-1 game. Abreu then put Boston in front 2-1 when he scored on Duran's throwing error after Connor Wong hit a grounder to third.
Langford's home run tied the game in the bottom of the sixth before Garcia homered on an 0-2 count later in the inning to give the Rangers a 3-2 lead. Langford had two of Texas' six hits.
The Red Sox were 0-for-12 with runners in scoring position and left runners on first and third in the eighth.
Rafael Devers was 0-for-4 with a walk and two strikeouts. He has struck out 12 times in Boston's four games.
