HOUSTON — Jarren Duran went 4 for 4, capped by a tiebreaking homer with two outs in the eighth inning that sent the Boston Red Sox to a 6-5 win over the Houston Astros. The game was tied at 5 when Duran drove a fastball from Caleb Ort over the wall in left-center, matching his season high for hits. He also walked once and scored three times. Triston Casas, who had three RBIs, put Boston up 3-0 in the first with a two-run homer. Jon Singleton hit a two-run shot and Yainer Diaz homered for a third straight game for the Astros. But the AL West leaders went 0 for 8 with runners in scoring position and lost for just the second time in 13 games.
