HOUSTON (AP) — Carlos Correa capped a May to forget with a big hit that helped the Houston Astros to a win.
Correa snapped an 0 for 10 slump with a two-run homer in the first, and Tony Kemp and Jake Marisnick each had an RBI in a 4-2 victory over the Boston Red Sox on Thursday night.
Correa’s home run ended a month during which he hit just .192 after batting .315 in April.
