Boston went 0 for 11 with runners on, stranding 13.<\/p>\n

Boston starter Ranger Su\u00e1rez<\/a> left the game<\/a> after four scoreless innings due to right hamstring tightness. Coming off eight scoreless innings of one-hit ball with 10 strikeouts in his last start, he gave up three hits, struck out three and walked one.<\/p>\n

Astros first baseman Christian Walker<\/a> was back in the lineup and went 2 for 3 after leaving Saturday\u2019s win because he was hit in the helmet<\/a> by a fastball. He went 6 for 10 in the series.<\/p>\n

Houston slugger Yordan Alvarez<\/a> was just 1 for 14 in the series with a single.<\/p>\n

After Jose Altuve<\/a> bounced into a rare 6-2-5 double play, Zack Kelly<\/a> (0-2) reloaded the bases with a walk before Smith\u2019s hit. Brice Matthews<\/a> was cut down at the plate after Smith was in a rundown.<\/p>\n

Bryan Abreu<\/a> (1-2) worked two innings for the victory, getting Ceddanne Rafaela<\/a> to bounce into a game-ending double play with the bases loaded.<\/p>\n

Making his first start since going on the injured list with mid-back inflammation<\/a> April 13, Houston\u2019s Cody Bolton<\/a> went 2 1\/3 scoreless innings.<\/p>\n

Duran homered into the right-field seats in the fifth and Houston tied it on Matthews\u2019 sacrifice fly in the sixth.<\/p>\n

Astros haven\u2019t named a starter for their Monday home game against the Dodgers<\/a>. RHP Yoshinobu Yamamoto<\/a> (2-2, 2.87 ERA) is set to start for Los Angeles<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Red Sox LHP Payton Tolle<\/a> (0-1, 3.38) is slated to start the opener of a three-game series Monday in Detroit<\/a> against Tigers\u2019 ace LHP Tarik Skubal<\/a> (3-2, 2.70).<\/p>\n
