Astros Squelch Red Sox Offense in Shutout Win
Right-hander Daniel Mengden mesmerized the Boston Red Sox while leading the Houston Astros to a 6-0 victory. At 66-76, the Astros find themselves in third place in the American League West Division.

The Astros got a big at-bat from shortstop Xander Bogaerts. For the game, Bogaerts was 3 for 5 with 3 singles, while adding 4 RBI. In the top of the third, with the bases loaded, he stroked a 2-run single. His 173rd hit of the season gave Houston a 2-0 lead.

Bogaerts attributed the win to "energy and focus on the part of everyone."
