Red Sox win series but drop in MLB Power Rankings
Summary

The Boston Red Sox secured their first home series victory since early April by winning two of three games against the Texas Rangers over the weekend. Despite this success, they fell in MLB.com's Power Rankings from No. 23 to No. 26. The team currently sits last in the American League East, trailing the Yankees by 13.5 games, though they remain in the hunt for a Wild Card spot, only five games back. Sam Kennedy, the Red Sox team president, indicated that the club may consider significant changes, including potential trades, if performance does not improve. The Red Sox will continue their homestand on Tuesday against the Toronto Blue Jays and face a critical series against the Yankees beginning June 25.
