he Red Sox concluded their three-game series against the Rangers with a 10-0 win. Boston had a 10-0 lead in the first game and an 8-0 margin on Wednesday. It's the first time in Red Sox history that they've had a lead of 8-0 or more in each of three consecutive games, and over the last 46 seasons the only other team to do that was the Indians in September 1986. (Maybe it was those three games that convinced Sports Illustrated to call the Indians the "best team in the American League" in its 1987 baseball preview issue.)
The Red Sox scored 37 runs in the series against Texas, tying the most by any major league team in a three-game series this season. The White Sox had 37 against the Pirates in June and the Tigers had 37 vs. the Rangers in April.
The Red Sox have scored that many runs in a three-game series only one other time over the last 55 seasons, when they had 45 in a series against the Marlins in June 2003.
