Houston Handles Boston


HOUSTON: 1 0 2 0 0 1 6 0 - 10 11 1
BOSTON: 0 5 0 0 0 2 0 x - 7 12 1



An eight inning game was played at City of Palms Park today and it was two innings too long for the Boston Red Sox. It's too bad that the rain didn't arrive earlier and the game called at the end of the sixth inning with Boston ahead by three runs. Instead there was a seventh inning and the Houston Astros reigned over Papelbon and then Houston lead by three runs. Hope this type of outing will not be repeated by Papelbon in the regular season - two years in row would be awful. At least the hitting and run scoring was there for the Red Sox - one additional hit and run than in yesterday's game. Another two-game day for Boston tomorrow with both of them scheduled for the same time - want different results.
