document: AL champ Texas rallies for 9-5 win over Boston ARLINGTON , Texas -- David Murphy ran to first base looking out toward the left-field corner and expecting the ball to drop in foul territory . Except his slicing liner kicked up chalk for the Texas Rangers . Like so many times while winning their first American League championship a year ago , the Rangers pulled off an exhilarating comeback . '' `` There is n't anything changed with those guys , '' '' manager Ron Washington said after a 9-5 win Friday over the Boston Red Sox in the season opener . Pinch-hitter Murphy 's tiebreaking , two-run double off hard-throwing Daniel Bard was part of a four-run outburst in the eighth for Texas , which before the game raised the AL championship flag . '' `` My body language brought it back in . I was praying the ball would hit the chalk , and it did , '' '' Washington said . '' `` When it hit the chalk , I lost it . '' '' Rangers newcomers Mike Napoli and Yorvit Torrealba ran home to break a 5-all tie . Murphy scored on a double by Elvis Andrus before another double by AL MVP Josh Hamilton . Napoli , Ian Kinsler and Nelson Cruz all homered for the Rangers , whose opener came exactly five months after a Game 5 loss to San Francisco at home ended its first World Series . The reloaded Red Sox , who added All-Stars Adrian Gonzalez and Carl Crawford after missing the playoffs last season , blew leads of 2-0 and 4-2 . '' `` Every loss is frustrating . We 've got 161 to go , '' '' Kevin Youkilis said . '' `` We know we 're better than we played today . There 's going to be a lot of games like that this year , but hopefully not too many in a row . '' '' Murphy pinch-hit for No. 9 batter Julio Borbon , the center fielder whose two-base error on the first play of the game led to the Red Sox scoring a pair of unearned runs . Borbon remained a starter even after five errors in 21 spring training games , a move that allows the Rangers to play Hamilton in left but relegates Murphy to the bench . '' `` I do it for my teammates . I love my teammates , '' '' said Murphy , who started 105 games last season . '' `` Would I like to be included more ? Yes . But if I continue to hit , I do n't think I should have a problem . '' '' Bard said he made the exact pitch he wanted to Murphy . '' `` Sinker down and away . It was on the knees , outer black , '' '' Bard said . '' `` He just barely got the bat to it . Three inches to the left and that 's a foul ball , and we 're having a different conversation . '' '' Darren Oliver , the third Texas reliever , got the victory even after allowing a homer to David Ortiz in the top of the eighth that tied it at 5 . Gonzalez had two hits and drove in three runs in his Boston debut . Crawford went 0 for 4 with three strikeouts while leaving a runner in scoring position each at-bat .
