Astros Lose at Home, 9-2
The Boston Red Sox used the hitting of catcher Dan Combs to subdue the Houston Astros, 9-2. For the game, Combs went 3-5 with a home run and 2 singles, while scoring 2 and driving in 2. Phil Christopher picked up the win with 8 innings of work. He allowed 2 runs on 12 hits, while walking 0 and striking out 7. On the season, he is now 9-6. The American League East Division-leading Red Sox have a record of 69-51.

Cristián Colón had a big solo home run for the Red Sox in the top of the third inning. With Boston leading 3-2 and the bases empty, he sized up a slider from 28-year old right-handed pitcher Bob Ramsey and punished it. The result was his 16th home run of the season, which put the Red Sox on top, 4-2.

"We'll take some time to unwind," said Colón, "and then get after it again."
