Sox lose
By Nick Cafardo, Globe Staff
Hard to believe, but Rangers pitching held Boston scoreless over the last seven innings to win 5-4 tonight at Fenway.
The Sox jumped out to a 4-0 lead after two innings, but it was all Rangers after that as Josh Beckett squandered a four-run lead and left after five innings trailing 5-4.
Eric Gagne recorded the save while Ron Mahay, Joaquin Benoit and Akinori Otsuka before him shut down the Sox after their initial success against starter Robinson Tejeda.
Beckett lost for only the second time this season. His ERA rose to 3.38.
