Monday night, the Astros scored two runs, both unearned. Tonight, they only scored one run, but it was earned. Is that better or worse than Monday night?
They’re both terrible, and the offense needs to wake up.
The Astros did open the scoring on a positive note in the first inning with a Jose Altuve lead-off double, followed immediately by a Yuli Gurriel RBI single.
And that was it for the night.
The Astros starter Cristian Javier held the Red Sox until the fourth inning when Rafael Devers doubled home Tommy Pham. And it was Devers again who gave the Sox the lead in the sixth inning with a homer to right field.
