• The Boston Red Sox might miss their visits to Globe Life Park, where they’ll conclude a three-game series with the host Texas Rangers on Thursday. A 10-3 win over the Rangers on Wednesday gave the Red Sox their fifth consecutive victory at the Rangers’ home park, which will be replaced when Texas moves to Globe Life Field next season. The victory gave Boston a 6-0-1 record in its last seven series with the Rangers and 16 wins in the last 20 meetings overall. One-time Texas slugger Mitch Moreland is finishing his season on a high note for the Red Sox, going 4-for-5 with a two-run homer Wednesday to improve to 9-for-22 with four home runs during a five-game hitting streak.

• Minor lost his last two starts while giving up a total of 13 runs over 10 innings, serving up five home runs and walking seven batters in that span. He limited the Red Sox to two runs across eight innings in a matchup at Fenway Park on June 10. J.D. Martinez is 5-for-9 with a home run against the Vanderbilt product, who is 5-4 with a 4.22 ERA at home.

• Red Sox RF Mookie Betts (foot) sat out Wednesday’s game and is expected to miss Thursday as well before returning for Friday’s home matchup with Baltimore.

• Rangers LF Willie Calhoun left the 10-3 loss with a forearm contusion after getting hit with a pitch in the first inning.

• Boston 3B Rafael Devers is 8-for-23 with two home runs and five RBIs during a five-game hitting streak.
