BOSTON -- Ian Kinsler had a tiebreaking two-run single in the seventh inning and reliever Bryan Corey outshined a pair of rookie left-handers for his first major league win.
The teams were supposed to play a day-night doubleheader, but rain delayed the start of the first game 4 hours, 47 minutes, forcing the postponement of the nightcap. The game will be made up as part of a split doubleheader today, beginning at noon.
