The Texas Rangers encountered a frustrating offensive setback in their recent series against the Boston Red Sox, concluding with a disheartening 5-0 loss. Despite initial optimism following a previous win, the team's situational hitting faltered significantly, evident in their 0 for 7 performance with runners in scoring position, leaving nine men stranded on base. Pitcher Jack Leiter had a mixed outing, allowing four runs but managing to extend his innings despite early struggles. Meanwhile, Joc Pederson stood out, achieving three walks and raising his on-base percentage, while Marcus Semien continued to struggle, going hitless and squandering scoring opportunities.

The Rangers now share the unwanted distinction of the most shutout losses in the American League, highlighting their urgent need for offensive consistency. As they navigate through these challenges, the team must focus on capitalizing on scoring situations if they hope to turn their season around.
