HOUSTON -- Carlos Correa's final game during a troubling month of May started with a bang.
Correa, who slashed .188/.284/.365 in 96 at-bats in May prior to Thursday, smashed a two-run home run in the first inning of the Astros' series opener against the MLB-best Red Sox at Minute Maid Park.
Correa's homer, his ninth this season, put the Astros ahead, 2-0, and gave the shortstop a club-leading 38 RBIs. Correa scored Alex Bregman, who had walked, with the laser to left field that was projected to travel 370 feet, according to Statcast™.
