Watch Alex Verdugo Blast Leadoff Home Run For Red Sox

Verdugo hit his 10th home run of the season

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.

Boston entered the matinee matchup eyeing a series split with Houston. You can watch the entire contest, as well as postgame coverage, on NESN.
