The Boston Red Sox and Texas Rangers will meet Tuesday for Game 2 of their four-game set at Fenway Park.
The Red Sox carried a 2-1 lead into the ninth inning Monday night but wound up losing 4-3 in 11 innings. They’ll look to get back on track when they send top pitching prospect Darwinzon Hernandez to the mound for his first big league start. The left-handed Venezuelan made one relief appearance earlier this season, pitching 2 1/3 scoreless innings against the Detroit Tigers.
The Rangers will counter with right-hander Ariel Jurado.
