Bottom of 8th: Red Sox 6, Rangers 0
What a hook. After issuing a one-out walk to pinch-hitter David Murphy, Aceves froze Ian Kinsler with a wicked curveball for a third called strike. He then got Elvis Andrus to fly to right to end the inning. Aceves turned it over to Dan Wheeler in the ninth after going 1.2 innings and walking one while striking out two batters.

Feldman proved his was not unhittable after Marco Scutaro and Jed Lowrie both singled to left. The Red Sox stranded both runners, however, as Feldman got Gonzalez to fly to center to end the inning.

Miller encountered his first bit of trouble when Omar Quintanilla reached on a throwing error by Marco Scutaro and Ian Kinsler walked as the Rangers put two men aboard. Elvis Andrus grounded to short for the force on Kinsler at second. Miller got out of the inning when he struck out Josh Hamilton for the third time in the game and Saltalmacchia caught Andrus stealing second to turn the inning-ending double play.
