Dylan Cease was impressive for six innings before San Diego’s All-Star-laden bullpen got into and out of trouble in the seventh and the Padres beat the Boston Red Sox 6-2 to take two of three.

After a disappointing series against the San Diego Padres the Red Sox remain on the road and head part of the way back home, stopping in Texas for three games against the Houston Astros.

The Red Sox lost their first series in nearly three weeks over the weekend, dropping the decider to the Padres on Sunday in San Diego. Boston will look to bounce back in a rematch with the Astros, whom the Sox swept last weekend for the first time since 2013.
