Narváez and Bregman Lead Red Sox 14–1 Rout of Astros

The Boston Red Sox overpowered the Houston Astros 14–1 at Daikin Park on Tuesday night, halting a three-game slide and moving to 66-55 on the season. Boston blew the game open with a five-run sixth inning capped by catcher Carlos Narváez’s three-run blast and a two-run shot from former Astro Alex Bregman, who homered for a second consecutive night against his old club. Masataka Yoshida added two runs batted in, while Roman Anthony and Wilyer Abreu each doubled late as the Red Sox piled up 12 runs over the final four frames. Right-hander Dustin May, making his second appearance since being acquired from the Dodgers, scattered five singles across six shutout innings and struck out eight. Houston’s Spencer Arrighetti walked a career-high five in five innings and was charged with two runs before the bullpen collapsed. The lopsided defeat drops Houston into a share of the American League West lead with the surging Seattle Mariners, adding pressure ahead of the series finale on Wednesday.
