BOSTON (AP) — Romy Gonzalez homered over the Inexperienced Monster on the primary pitch confronted by a Boston batter, Trevor Story added a two-run shot, and the Purple Sox beat the Houston Astros 7-3 on Saturday.

Abraham Toro added a two-run drive — one in all three homers the Purple Sox hit over Fenway Park’s fabled left-field wall — and Story added an RBI double as Boston gained its third straight.

Houston’s Christian Walker homered for the second straight day, a two-run shot off Walker Buehler within the first inning.

After beating the AL West leaders on Roman Anthony’s walk-off single within the sequence opener on Friday evening, the Purple Sox erased a fast 2-0 deficit when Story hit his drive in a three-run third towards Colton Gordon (4-4) that pushed Boston forward 4-2.

Story’s shot hit the highest of a billboard over the Monster seats and bounced out of Fenway after Rob Refsnyder’s RBI single.

Justin Wilson (3-1) got here on within the fifth inning with runners on second and third with Boston main 6-3 and struck out the one two batters he confronted. Aroldis Chapman acquired the ultimate two outs for his twentieth save.
