BOSTON (AP) — The Boston Red Sox hit for the cycle in one inning and better than they have in a game this season.

Jackie Bradley Jr. hit his first career home run and finished with three RBIs, and the Red Sox set season highs for hits and runs in a 17-5 rout of the Texas Rangers on Tuesday night.

“It’s just baseball. It happens. Over 162 games, you’re going to have opportunities to score a lot of runs and tonight we didn’t stop,” said Mike Carp, one of four players to homer for Boston. “We kept it going all night.”

Stephen Drew and Jarrod Saltalamacchia also homered for the Red Sox, who scored at least one run in every inning through the first seven and hit for the cycle as a team in the second. The Red Sox finished with 19 hits, eight of them doubles.

It was an abundance of run support for Ryan Dempster (3- 6), who ended a streak of five winless starts with his first victory in a month.

David Ortiz had three RBIs, driving in one run with a double in the first and then a pair while legging out a rare triple during Boston’s six-run second. Ortiz also tagged up and scored on a sacrifice to shallow right.

Carp also drove in three runs as the Red Sox ended a five-game losing streak against the Rangers.

Five of Boston’s six hits in the second were for extra bases and the Red Sox chased Justin Grimm (5-4) after 60 pitches. The Texas rookie allowed eight runs, all earned, in 1.2 innings in a forgettable Fenway Park debut.

Texas used six pitchers and none could stop the Red Sox until outfielder David Murphy made his first career pitching appearance.

Murphy came in from left field in the eighth and kept Boston from scoring after Daniel Nava hit a leadoff double.

Jeff Baker hit a two-run homer for Texas in the fourth and Nelson Cruz hit a solo shot.
