Boston is in a dealing mode today. They first acquire 1B Adam LaRoche from Pittsburgh for two minor leaguers, then send SS Julio Lugo, who was designated for assignment on July 17th, to St. Louis for OF Chris Duncan, who heads to AAA Pawtucket. The Sox are in the midst of a five-game losing streak and fall two games back of the Yankees with a 3 – 1 loss to Texas. Dustin Nippert, making an emergency start for the flu-ridden Vicente Padilla, and Doug Mathis, who earns his first career save, combine their efforts for the Rangers’ win.
