Hanley's go-ahead HR lifts Sox over Astros

In the battle of highly-touted young starters, Lance McCullers and Eduardo Rodriguez both fared well while they were out there in five-inning stints. McCullers allowed seven hits and a run, walking three and striking out three. Rodriguez allowed six hits and a run, walking two and striking out eight.

The Red Sox have won seven of their last 10 games -- and three straight series -- to move to six games back in the American League East.
