April 8, 2007 Rangers 9, Red Sox 4

The 5-1 Texas Rangers get out the broom and sweep the Sox. Another lousy atart for Curt Schilling, 11 hits and 7 runs in 5 1/3. It was a 3-2 game until the 6th, when the Rangers busted it open with 6 runs, the big hit a bases loaded triple by Michael Young. Maybe the friendly confines of Fenway will end the slide, as after an off day the home opener against the Mariners is next on the schedule. Josh Beckett vs. Jef Weaver.
