Alex Bregman homered against his former team for a second straight game and Carlos Narváez added a three-run shot to lead the Boston Red Sox to a 14-1 win over the Houston Astros on Tuesday night. Dustin May (7-8) scattered five singles across six scoreless and struck out eight in his second start since a trade from the Dodgers.

The Red Sox have called up reliever Jovani Moran and designated Nick Burdi for assignment before their series opener against the Astros.

The Blue Jays have a lead over the Red Sox in the AL East and they will keep that position if key players dominate coming off the IL.
