Red Sox 4, Astros 1: Another Sunday spent avoiding a sweep.

For the second consecutive Sunday, the Red Sox were facing off against the Astros having lost their previous two games and headed into a series finale trying to avoid a sweep. For the second consecutive Sunday, they got the job done. This time, it was Eduardo Rodriguez leading the way as the lefty looked a little shaky early on but got better as the game went along. By the time he reached the final few innings of his six-inning outing, Rodriguez was dominating. The offense had a tough matchup against Justin Verlander and certainly didn’t explode or anything, but they did enough with Rafael Devers going deep to highlight the effort.
