Red Sox manager Alex Cora was ejected from Wednesday's game against the Astros because of a non-call he felt should be a balk.

Hunter Brown allowed only a run in 6 2/3 innings for his 10th victory, Jeremy Peña and Yainer Diaz homered and the Houston Astros beat the Boston Red Sox 4-1 on Wednesday night.

2) Red Sox starter Walker Buehler settled in after he gave up two runs in the first inning. Jeremy Peña led off the bottom of the first with a 358-foot home run to left field. Buehler then allowed a pair of walks and an RBI single to Yainer Diaz.
