Houston Astros at Boston Red Sox
Final
Recap
BOSTON -- Brice Matthews hit a three-run homer and made a leaping catch at the center-field wall to rob Willson Contreras of a hit that spoiled a potentially big inning, leading the Houston Astros to a 6-3 victory over the Boston Red Sox on Saturday. Houston’s Christian Walker added a solo homer, three hits and two RBI before leaving the game in the ninth inning after getting hit in the head by a fastball from Tyler Samaniego. Walker walked to the dugout after being hit. The Astros rebounded from a loss in the series opener Friday for just their third win in eight games.
