Wilyer Abreu led off with a walk. Kiner-Falefa laid down a sacrifice bunt, sending Anthony to third base and Abreu to second base with one out.

Astros righty reliever Bryan Abreu hit Marcelo Mayer with a pitch to load the bases, but he then got Ceddanne Rafaela to ground into a 6-3 double play to end the game.

“Up and down emotionally, for sure,” Tracy said. “Then we come right back and have the bases loaded there ... and give ourselves another shot. So it’s difficult.”

The Red Sox offense went 0 for 11 with runners in scoring position and left 13 men on base.

“A ton of opportunities, ton of at-bats with people on,” Tracy said. “So the worst case could be you’re not getting the opportunities. We’re getting them, but we’ve got to execute them and that’s a winnable game. Obviously we had a lot of chances for two-out hits, one-out hits with people on and just couldn’t get it done.”
