Fourth Inning


The turning point came in the fourth inning when the Red Sox unleashed an offensive surge, scoring all six of their runs. This pivotal moment was marked by four hits and one error from Houston's side, which proved costly. Framber Valdez, who started on the mound for Houston, struggled during this period despite his previous performance where he maintained a respectable ERA of 6.0.


Sixth Inning


In response, Houston managed to put up a fight in their half of the fourth inning when Carlos Correa hit a solo home run—his only hit out of four at-bats—giving them their sole run for the game. However, this effort was not enough to ignite further momentum as they were held scoreless through subsequent innings.


Eighth Inning


As we moved into later innings, Kaleb Ort took over pitching duties from Valdez and delivered a solid performance by maintaining an ERA of 0.0 across two innings pitched while allowing just one walk and no earned runs. Despite his efforts and those from other bullpen members like Nick Hernandez who also kept his ERA at zero during his appearance; offensive struggles continued for Houston.
