The Houston Astros dismantled the Boston Red Sox again on Wednesday, as they posted eight runs to Boston’s three. While taking another series from the Red Sox, the Astros have found themselves with two advantages in the series thus far: the ability to rest Yordan Alvarez and Michael Brantley’s legs late into the game while sacrificing their bats and the decrease in bullpen usage.
