Red Sox Win Big; Cora Praises Duran After 4-for-4 Night

Boston's Bats Come Alive in Victory Over Astros

The Boston Red Sox picked up a huge win over the Houston Astros on Tuesday night, thanks in large part to a stellar performance from first baseman Jarren Duran.

Duran went 4-for-4 at the plate, including a solo home run in the second inning. He also drove in two runs and scored three times.

Duran's performance was a welcome sight for the Red Sox, who have struggled offensively at times this season.

Cora Praises Duran's "Amazing" Night

After the game, Red Sox manager Alex Cora was full of praise for Duran.

"He was amazing tonight," Cora said. "He was seeing the ball well, hitting it hard, and making things happen. He's a big part of this team, and we're lucky to have him."

Duran's performance was particularly impressive considering that he was facing one of the best pitchers in baseball, Astros ace Justin Verlander.

Red Sox Win Streak Continues

The win was the Red Sox's sixth in a row, and it moved them into a tie for first place in the American League East.

The Red Sox will look to continue their winning ways when they host the Baltimore Orioles on Wednesday night.
