Houston starter Jason Alexander gave up three runs in 5 2/3 innings before the bullpen shut it down, with Bryan Abreu notching his fourth save. Luis Peralta (1-2) took the loss after surrendering Walker’s go-ahead homer.

Red Sox 3, Orioles 2

Boston finished off a sweep in Baltimore as Romy Gonzalez delivered an RBI single in the eighth inning for the go-ahead run. Trevor Story and Rob Refsnyder homered to provide early power for the Red Sox, who improved to 7-1 on their road trip against division rivals. Refsnyder, activated from the injured list earlier in the day, added two hits in his return. The Orioles’ Alex Jackson hit a solo home run, but Baltimore left nine men on base to close a disappointing 1-7 homestand.

Diamondbacks 6, Brewers 4

Arizona’s bottom-third of the lineup came through in a big way, with Tyler Locklear, Alek Thomas, and Ildemaro Vargas each driving in two runs in a win over Milwaukee. Starter Nabil Crismatt (2-0) worked 5 2/3 innings, allowing four runs, while rookie Taylor Rashi earned a three-inning save in his MLB debut. Milwaukee starter Jose Quintana (10-5) was roughed up for six runs in fewer than four innings, while Isaac Collins drove in two runs for the Brewers.
