 ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) - Matt Clement worked into the ninth inning for his 10th victory and David Ortiz homered and drove in three runs for the Boston Red Sox in a 7-4 victory over the Texas Rangers on Wednesday night.
Clement (10-2), left off the AL All-Star roster by his own manager, retired 10 straight after giving up consecutive homers to David Dellucci and Michael Young in the third inning. The only other runs he allowed were on Dellucci's second homer in the seventh. He allowed nine hits, struck out nine and didn't walk a batter.
After throwing a season-high 122 pitches (84 strikes), Clement didn't get a chance for his second complete game after allowing Sandy Alomar's two-out single in the ninth.
