Astros over Orioles 2-1

By KRISTIE RIEKEN

HOUSTON (AP) — Rafael Devers homered with two RBIs in his return from the injured list to lead the Boston Red Sox to a 2-1 win over the Houston Astros, hours after they acquired veteran first baseman Eric Hosmer in a trade with San Diego.

Devers didn’t show any signs of rust in his return after sitting out since July 23 with inflammation in his right hamstring.
