Clemens Knocks Off Sox

The Houston Astros turned to Roger Clemens to face his former team, the Boston Red Sox, and he delivered. Clemens allowed just 3 hits and 2 walks, shutting out Boston while striking out 8. Bobby Doerr hit a double in the 5th, marking the only time the Red Sox had a runner in scoring position. Pedro Martínez allowed 6 singles in 6 innings for Boston, but Houston was able to plate 3 runs. Richard Hidalgo was 2 for 4 with a run scored and an RBI to lead the Astros offense. Lance Berkman was also 2 for 4, scoring twice. The #2 Red Sox become the highest seeded team to exit the Tournament so far. The Red Sox will head home as the Astros host the Baltimore Orioles tomorrow.
