The Boston Red Sox began the opening game of a four-game series against the Houston Astros looking for a spark.
Former World Series champion and NESN analyst Kevin Millar believed Boston's Adam Duvall was just the guy to provide a spark.
During his first at-bat against Cristian Javier with two runners on in the opening frame, Millar said on NESN's broadcast that Duvall could capitalize against the Houston right-hander and predicted that the outfielder would go deep.
"He's going deep," Millar said on NESN. "This is not a good matchup for Javier."

Moments later, Duvall blasted a long home run over the Crawford Boxes in left field to put the Red Sox up early, 3-0. Millar reacted in enthusiastic fashion as Duvall rounded the bases.
The Red Sox outfielder tallied his 12th home run of the season for a fast start in Houston.
