BOSTON (AP) — Jose Altuve hit a two-run homer and Jon Singleton and Jeremy Peña added RBI singles in a four-run seventh inning as the AL West-leading Houston Astros beat the Boston Red Sox 8-4 on Friday night.
Yainer Diaz added a two-run homer for the Astros, who pounded Boston’s bullpen on the way to their third straight win. Bregman and Peña finished with three hits apiece.
Altuve’s homer off reliever Lucas Sims that tied the game in the seventh inning was the 224th of his career. That moved him into fourth place on the team’s all-time list.
