HOUSTON — The Red Sox cruised to a 9-3 win in their series finale against the Astros on Sunday.
Mitch Moreland was the hero in the win, going 3-for-4 at the plate with a two-run home run to center field to add to his performance.
Andrew Benintendi crushed his second home run in as many days, just a day after a clutch long ball on Saturday night that put the Red Sox on top.
