Boston Red Sox’s Xander Bogaerts, right, watches the flight of his three-run home as Houston Astros catcher Jason Castro, center, looks on in the second inning of a baseball game at Fenway Park, Sunday, May 15, 2016, in Boston. The Sox averaged 73 runs over those seven games. Layne got into a little bit of trouble, but some great defense helped him out by catching Gonzalez in a run down between 3rd and home. Starting pitcher Sean O’Sullivan earned a designation for assignment following the game after letting up six runs (five earned) on five hits and two walks in 4.1 innings, striking out three.
Rutledge he filled in at third for Travis Shaw, who moved over to first as Ramirez manned the designated hitter spot with David Ortiz resting.
“I called it and didn’t catch it”, Gomez said.
Devenski lasted just two innings in his fourth major-league start, getting tagged for six runs.
Bradley is batting.416 with six homers and 26 RBIs over the longest hit streak by a Red Sox player since Ortiz’s 27-gamer spanning the 2012 and ’13 seasons.
Carlos Correa hits his second home run in as many days out of Fenway Park in the third to whip away at the Red Sox lead. His plan is to go with a four-man rotation until they open a series in Baltimore on May 24.
“We got beat”, Astros manager A.J. Hinch said. He joins Hank Aaron and Barry Bonds as the only major leaguers to hit 500 home runs and 600 doubles.
Buchholz has given up 19 runs in the first two innings of games and just 12 in innings three through seven, according to ESPN.com.
Dodgers 5, Cardinals 3: Scott Kazmir pitched 82/3 innings and Adrian Gonzalez and Corey Seager homered for L.A.

The Houston Astros certainly know they better turn things around soon after their second straight tough loss.
Boston wasn’t flawless Sunday, committing three errors of its own and coughing up the lead in the middle innings.
Trailing 8-6 in the sixth, the Astros scored three times.
“We had another win within a few outs”, said Hinch, whose team led Boston 5-4 entering the bottom of the ninth Saturday before losing 6-5 in 11 innings. Craig Kimbrel got the final three outs for his 10th save. “You’ve got to finish games”.
