The Boston Red Sox achieved a decisive 6-1 victory over the Houston Astros, completing a series sweep and marking their fourth consecutive win. Lucas Giolito showcased an impressive performance, pitching eight innings while surrendering just one run on three hits. The pivotal moment came during a chaotic fourth inning where the Red Sox capitalized on Houston's defensive errors, resulting in six runs scored. Trevor Story and Ceddanne Rafaela contributed with consecutive RBI singles. Conversely, Astros' Framber Valdez, who previously boasted an impressive 10-game winning streak, struggled, giving up six runs, four of which were earned, leading to his first loss since May.
