ARLINGTON, Texas — Nomar Mazara is cleaning up nicely for the Texas Rangers in the lineup spot usually occupied by Adrian Beltre, baseball’s active career hits leader. Mazara drove in five runs while homering in his third straight game and the Rangers beat the Boston Red Sox 11-5 on Thursday night, handing former AL Cy Young Award winner David Price his third loss in a row. Betts also had a two-run double and a sacrifice fly as the Red Sox opened an 11-day, 10-game trip. “I mean, at least we can talk about that,” Red Sox manager Alex Cora said of Betts. The 11 are the most allowed by the Red Sox, whose 22-9 record is still the best in the majors.
