Red Sox Steal Game From Astros With 6-run 7th

It's been a tough season for the Houston Astros and tonight summed up how the team has struggled to finish off their opponenets.  Houston held a 5-1 lead heading to the seventh and Bud Norris' 1-hitter seemed imminent.  Quickly, Norris found himself in some trouble in the top of the seventh.  After allowing three straight hits and a run to begin the inning, Brad Mills sent him to the dugout.  By the half-inning's end, nine different Red Sox would have an at-bat, five would score, J.D. Drew would have two at-bats and three Houston pitchers would be used.  Although it was a rough night for the Astros, Hunter Pence had a productive game, going 2 for 4 at the plate with 2 RBIs.  The Astros hope to even the series tomorrow night at Minute Maid.
