00:00Yiner Diaz, also a solo shot to walk it off for Houston at home. The Astros come back.

00:10They were down four to two, entering the home half of the six. They rallied a walk it off

00:14at home in H-Town against the Boston Red Sox. They were a home favorite, close to a dollar

00:20and a half price. You say Kikuchi, another big victory for the Astros. Not a win for

00:27him, but Houston has won all four of the starts that he has now made as a member of

00:33this Astros starting staff. Make that 11 wins in the last 12 games for the Astros to propel

00:39Houston to a five-game advantage atop the American League West.

00:45Two separate, two-run leads for the Boston Red Sox. Inexcusable to give that up, but

00:49we talked about this game yesterday, and it really was a coin flip. You had two good pitchers

00:52on the mound. Houck, six innings pitch, two earned runs, gave you exactly what you wanted.

00:56Eight strikeouts. It lowers his ERA to 3.01. Kikuchi, five and two-thirds innings pitch.

01:01They both gave up three runs, but only one of those earned. But talking about that contrarian

01:05look yesterday, we told you how good those batters looked from the Boston Red Sox perspective

01:10and the Houston Astros, where the pitching maybe not match up. You say, you know what?

01:14It's a hitter's ballpark. Let's go ride with it. And they end up getting over the eight

01:17and a half. Once you get to the four to four, that game is cashed in. But also, the Red

01:20Sox, two to nothing to start that game. Tackle on in the second and the third inning here.

01:24Put this game out of reach. Weren't able to do that. But then regain the lead by going

01:27up four to two and still drop that game. That's a devastating loss for them. But the Houston

01:31Astros just continue to fight and find ways to pick up victories. And quite frankly, if

01:36you're looking at opportunities, three for 11 with runners in scoring position for the

01:40Astros. You look at the Boston Red Sox last night, Ben, 0 of six. Cash in on those opportunities.

01:46Win a baseball game. But once again, get up two to nothing. Get up four to two. You got

01:51to win that baseball game. Credit Houston for coming back and pulling that one out.
