The Houston Astros powered past the Boston Red Sox, 13-4, at Minute Maid Park. Odubel Herrera belted 2 home runs, while scoring 3 times and driving in 5, to lead the charge. Despite the defeat, Boston still has a fine 20-7 record.

Herrera contributed a big hit, a 3-run home run, for Houston in the bottom of the third. With his team trailing 1-0, Herrera took a curveball from Zack Wheeler and stroked the home run to left. His 3rd home run of the season allowed the Astros to leap in front, 3-1.

"We'll enjoy this win," said Herrera. "But there's more we hope to accomplish."
