{fshare id=2883}

The Texas Rangers closed out a road series against the Red Sox with a 10-9 victory on Wednesday.

Rangers pitcher Matt Harrison started the game, but would leave the game after 4 2/3 innings.  Harrison was suffering from a virus and had to be given IV fluids during the game.  Harrison gave up 5 runs on 8 hits before leaving the game.

The Texas offense picked up the slack for the pitcher, generating 10 runs on 11 hits.  The Rangers hit 4 home runs in the game.  Mitch Moreland, Josh Hamilton, and Nelson Cruz all went deep, as did Geovany Soto in just his 5th game as a Ranger.

Hamilton also had a triple as part of his 3-hit game with 4 runs batted in.  Elvis Andrus went 3-for-4 in the game and scored 3 runs.

Roy Oswalt pitched an inning and a third, giving up 4 runs.  Alexi Ogando threw 2 scoreless innings and is credited with the win.  Joe Nathan earned his 23rd save of the season.

Texas will have the day off before opening a homestand against Detroit on Friday at the Ballpark.
