ARLINGTON, Texas — Wilyer Abreu homered twice and tied a career high with four RBIs a day after the death of his grandmother, leading the Boston Red Sox to a 7-2 victory over the Texas Rangers. Boston leadoff man Jarren Duran connected on a tiebreaking homer for the second time in less than three weeks at the home of the Rangers. The first of those two made Duran the MVP in the AL's 5-3 victory in the All-Star Game on July 16. The second gave Boston a 3-2 lead in the fifth inning. Corey Seager and Josh Jung homered for Texas.
