BOSTON -- A perfect opportunity for the Houston Astros to jumpstart their season went by the wayside.
Houston took a shellacking Thursday in an 11-1 loss to the surging Boston Red Sox in the opener of a four-game weekend set, then erased a four-run deficit Friday in a 7-6 win, the team's biggest come-from-behind victory of the year.
On Saturday, the Astros had the Red Sox beat again -- until David Ortiz had his say.
