Sox stall after J.D. clocks MLB-best 19th HR
(MLB.com Boston Red Sox)

The Red Sox were feeling pretty good about their chances of climbing out of an early deficit when Mitch Moreland and J.D. Martinez belted back-to-back homers in the fourth inning on Friday against tough Astros righty Gerrit Cole. But the offense didn`t score for the rest of the night, and Boston again fell short at Minute Maid Park, this time taking a 7-3 loss to the defending World Series champions.
