Jarren Duran's exceptional performance, including a tiebreaking homer in the eighth inning, propelled the Boston Red Sox to a 6-5 victory over the Houston Astros. Duran went 4 for 4, matching his season high for hits, while scoring three times and walking once, solidifying his place as a dynamic leadoff hitter for the team. Triston Casas also made significant contributions with two hits and three RBIs, including a two-run homer that initially gave Boston a 3-0 lead. The Astros, despite homers from Jon Singleton and Yainer Diaz, struggled with runners in scoring position, going 0 for 8 in that category. Red Sox pitcher Nick Pivetta allowed six hits and five runs over five innings, while Zack Kelly earned the win with a perfect seventh inning. This win is a morale booster for the Red Sox after previously being swept by the Astros earlier in the month.
