Astros 12, Red Sox 8: Road Trip Starts With A Wild Ride

If you could ever say a team "eked out" a four run win this was that game. Riding a four game win streak into Boston the Astros sent out AAA call-up Dan Straily to start the road trip. The Sox got to him in the second inning for 2 runs, but Houston came back to put a five-spot on the board in the fourth inning. In that inning Jason Castro and Preston Tucker had big RBI doubles and Alex Presley had an RBI single in his first game on the roster replacing George Springer.
