By T.R. Sullivan / MLB.com
Jamey Wright held the high-powered Red Sox to two runs in five-plus innings, but he took the tough-luck loss in the opener in Boston. Kenny Lofton went 4-for-4 and stole four bases, but Texas left 11 men on base, including Lofton on second in the ninth inning.

By Alex McPhillips / MLB.com
Tim Wakefield allowed seven hits and four walks, but held Texas to just one run in 6 2/3 frames. Boston produced just enough to back Wakefield, with Wily Mo Pena's RBI single in the fourth and Manny Ramirez's grounder in the fifth accounting for its lone runs.
