Solarte, Red Sox Rough Up Astros
The Boston Red Sox easily defeated the Houston Astros, 15-3, at Minute Maid Park, with third baseman Yangervis Solarte a main contributor to the win. He went 4-6 with 2 home runs and 2 singles, while scoring 3 times and driving in 3 for Boston. Reliever Connor Sadzeck picked up the win. His record improves to 3-1. Daniel Mengden took the loss. Boston goes to 30-24. The win puts them 2 games up in their division.

Boston relied on the hitting of Yasiel Puig to pick up the win. The right fielder clubbed a 3-run home run in the top of the fifth inning to put the Red Sox on top, 13-1. For the game, Puig had 1 home run and 1 single in 6 at-bats.

"It makes it a little nicer in the clubhouse when we win," said Puig. "It eases the tension."
