Red Sox Lose 6-3 to Astros, Early Struggles

The Boston Red Sox fell 6-3 to the Houston Astros on Saturday, extending their season-long struggles to overcome multi-run deficits.

Rookie starter Connelly Early had his worst outing of the season, surrendering five runs in four innings. The Red Sox trailed 4-0 by the fourth inning and could not mount a comeback. Despite scoring three runs later in the game, the team stranded 10 runners and went 0-for-6 with runners in scoring position. afsport.lat

This loss drops Boston to 1-4 against Houston this year. Early's inefficiency and a lack of clutch hitting contributed to the defeat.
