Texas Needs 13 Innings to Subdue Boston in Game 1
When the games really matter, the Texas Rangers put on their best show, beating the Boston Red Sox by a final score of 4-3. Juan Cervantes threw 5.1 innings of 4-hit ball. Texas now leads Boston 1-0 in the best-of-5 affair.

Texas took advantage of an error in the top of the 13th inning. The game was tied, 3-3, when Jim Rivers hit a run-scoring single that was misplayed. It put the Rangers in front, 4-3.

"You never want to start a series with a loss, but I saw a lot of good things today," Red Sox manager Alvin Morman said. "I'm not worrying. Yet."

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Fenway Park in Boston.
