Red Sox Improve to 81-64 with 3-2 Win
The 3-2 Boston win over Houston was due in large part to Jose Diaz. The Red Sox left fielder was 2 for 3 with 2 home runs. He drove in 3 runs and scored twice. Boston reliever Jon Mercado picked up the win, upping his record to 5-3. Lance Crumpton took the loss. The victory gives Boston a record of 81-64.

Diaz had a key at-bat for Boston early in the game. With a runner on 2nd, he hit a 2-run home run. It was his 23rd home run of the season and gave Boston an early 2-0 lead.

"We'll savor this win," Diaz told the Boston Observer, "then get ready for the next game."
