The Boston Red Sox on Thursday looked to continue their momentum after Wednesday’s 7-5 win over the Houston Astros.
To start the series finale, Alex Verdugo did just that to get the team on the board.
The Boston outfielder slapped a leadoff home run to right field off of Astros right-hander J.P. France to give the Red Sox an early 1-0 lead.
It was the 10th home run of the season for Verdugo, who’s enjoying a bounce-back month of August.
