Kenny Lofton, Michael Young and Ramon Vazquez all had two hits for the Rangers, who have split their last four games.
Winner Kameron Loe (5-6) allowed an earned run and six hits over six innings, while Eric Gagne earned his 10th save of the season.
Boston got its lone run on an RBI single by Kevin Youkilis in the bottom of the fifth.
