Red Sox Knock Off Astros, 6-1
The Boston Red Sox downed the Houston Astros, 6-1, the largest share of the credit belonging to shortstop Xander Bogaerts. On the day, Bogaerts hit 2 home runs for the Red Sox. Smoky Joe Wood picked up the win, improving his season record to 7-10. He struck out 7 in 5.1 innings. Boston, now 66-66, holds down third place in the American League Eastern Division.

The game turned with no one out in the bottom of the fourth. That's when Bogaerts hit a solo home run off Gerrit Cole. It propelled the Red Sox into the lead, 1-0.

"There's a lot of fight left in this team," said Bogaerts.
