FINAL: Astros 5, Red Sox 0 - Boston posts 2 hits as offense slumbers into offseason

HOUSTON -- Well, you're not going to win many games with two hits, and that's what happened to the Red Sox against suddenly stellar Houston pitching.

That was, in a word, disappointing.

The Red Sox were up 2-1 in the series, and 2-1 at home in Game 4 when Jose Altuve launched a game-tying homer on the first pitch from Garrett Whitlock. The series was never the same after that.
