Red Sox Turn Back Houston, 2-0
Boston got a first-rate effort from pitcher Alejandro Requena, who frustrated Houston hitters en route to a 2-0 Red Sox triumph at Minute Maid Park. Requena picked up the win for Boston, going 6 innings. He gave up no runs on 2 hits. He now sports a record of 1-1. Edwin Diaz notched his 14th save in 16 chances.

It could have been a different outcome for Boston, had it not been for Marwin Gonzalez, the 31-year old first baseman . Gonzalez contributed a solo home run in the top of the fourth inning to put Boston up, 2-0.

"Not too many highlights on our side," said losing manager Craig Puckett.

The Red Sox sport a record of 24-36.
