BOSTON (AP) — Astros manager AJ Hinch says his team is at its best when his players are putting together good at-bats one after another.
Against the Boston Red Sox, the Houston hitters did that — eventually.
Carlos Correa lofted a tiebreaking sacrifice fly in the eighth inning and the Astros won their sixth straight game, rallying past Boston 6-3 Friday night in a matchup of AL division leaders.
The Red Sox, with the best record in the majors, had won three in row.
Boston starter David Price had allowed just one hit and retired 14 in a row when he went into the seventh with a 2-0 lead.
