 But as far as mindset goes and momentum goes and how you feel about your team, getting a win last day of the first half before the All-Star break can be a bit of a key. So kudos to the Rangers for getting a win. And kudos to the Red Sox, who beat the Royals again today. After Friday's action, the Royals and Red Sox were tied for the third and final wild card spot in the AL. Red Sox beat them for the second consecutive day. So now they're two games up.
