Red Sox Announce Marcelo Mayer News Before Astros Game originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Boston Red Sox have won seven of their last ten games, improving to a 65–54 record that has them just four games behind the first-place Toronto Blue Jays in the AL East.

Hunter Brown allowed only a run in 6 2/3 innings for his 10th victory, Jeremy Peña and Yainer Diaz homered and the Houston Astros beat the Boston Red Sox 4-1 on Wednesday night.

Instead of salvaging a 3-3 week against playoff contenders San Diego and Houston, which would have given them plenty to be content with, the Red Sox were stuck at 2-4, losing both sets.
