Red Sox edge Astros 3-1 as Duran homers in Bennett's major league debut

In Boston, Jarren Duran delivered a three-run homer and Jake Bennett worked five innings of one-run ball to earn the victory in his major league debut as the Red Sox defeated the Houston Astros 3-1 on Friday night. Boston's offense also received contributions from DH Roman Anthony, who had three hits, helping the team rebound after completing a 3-3 road trip.

Interim manager Chad Tracy, who took over after the firing of Alex Cora last weekend, earned the win in his first Fenway Park game as manager. The win gives Boston a positive note despite the recent managerial change and the midpoint of the season frame, with Duran providing the big hit and Bennett delivering a solid debut performance.
