Trevor Story and Ceddanne Rafaela had RBI singles in a six-run fourth inning filled with five Houston mistakes and the Boston Red Sox beat the Astros 6-1 on Sunday.

Instant reactions from the Red Sox’ 6-1 win over the Houston Astros at Fenway Park on Sunday: 1) The Red Sox swept the three-game series against Houston to improve to 62-51 overall and 37-21 at Fenway Park.

Regardless of the Red Sox' activity (or lack thereof) at the trade deadline, they are still riding a lot of momentum. They are winners of five of their last seven games and were 17-7 in July. With a 59-51 record, they are one game ahead of the Seattle Mariners for the second AL Wild Card spot.

The Boston Red Sox made a surprisingly generous offer to the Minnesota Twins, but were turned down, a new report says.

Dustin May and the Boston Red Sox are both hoping to make the most of an awkward situation. May arrived in Boston on Thursday in a trade with the Los Angeles Dodgers, who didn't want him in their starting rotation anymore.
