Drew Pomeranz struck out eleven Rangers batters in six innings, the bullpen struck out nine batters in three innings, Craig Kimbrel struck out four batters in one inning, and the Red Sox pitching staff records the third 20 K game in their history:

It marked only the sixth time a team recorded 20 strikeouts in a nine-inning game. The Red Sox have accounted for half of those instances.

Boston won the game 6-2.
