Rock 'Em! Sock 'Em! Torkelson Blasts 3 Homers in Boston Win
Spencer Torkelson was a vital contributor to the 10-6 Boston victory over Houston. The Red Sox first baseman hit 3 home runs, while adding 6 RBI and scoring three times. The winning pitcher was Tanner Houck. His record now stands at 10-10. The right-hander went 7 innings, allowing 3 runs on 6 hits for the Red Sox. Today's win puts Boston at 72-75, while Houston falls to 77-70.

With Boston leading 7-5 in the top of the ninth, Torkelson hit a fastball from Hunter Harvey for a 3-run home run. It was his 24th home run of the season and put the Red Sox ahead, 10-5.

"We'll kick back tonight, then get set for the next one," Torkelson said.
