**Red Sox Rally to Beat Rangers in Thrilling 6-4 Victory**

The Boston Red Sox snapped a three-game losing streak Wednesday night, defeating the Texas Rangers in a hard-fought 6-4 contest. The game was a showcase of offensive power, with key performances leading the way. Alex Bregman was the hero, driving in three runs with a tie-breaking two-run single and a solo home run. Wilyer Abreu also had a stellar night, blasting two solo home runs and contributing three RBIs.

The Red Sox, who had struggled against the Rangers this season with a 1-4 record heading into the game, found their stride at the plate. The Rangers, despite solo home runs from Adolis García and Josh Jung, couldn't keep pace. Abreu's second homer of the game in the eighth inning extended Boston's lead.

Brennan Bernardino earned the win with a perfect inning of relief, while Aroldis Chapman secured his fifth save, despite allowing Jung's homer. Jacob Webb took the loss for the Rangers. The game saw a back-and-forth battle, with Bregman and Abreu hitting back-to-back homers in the fourth inning to take the lead. The Rangers, who had recently hired Bret Boone as their hitting coach, had won the series opener on Tuesday. The series finale on Thursday will feature a pitching matchup between Rangers RHP Jack Leiter and Red Sox RHP Brayan Bello.
