The Red Sox are... playing good baseball? Boston is coming off taking two of three from the Rangers over the weekend, and now they’ve taken the first of three against the Astros by outlasting Houston through a long rain delay to win a close one. Boston’s offense was shut down early, but they put some runs on the board in the middle innings while Houston was staying right with them run for run. But Boston had the last laugh, with Matt Strahm coming through in the bullpen and giving the offense some time to open up a three-run lead that would be held in the ninth for the win.
