The Red Sox home struggles continued with a 7-5 loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks Sunday afternoon.  Diamondbacks came back from a 4-0 deficit to complete the series sweep over the Sox.  Arizona improves to 20-5 over its last 25 games and the D-Backs ​are now 19 games over .500 for the 1st time this season.  Sox are 5 games over .500 for the 1st time since June 30th at 44-39 with win over Padres.

Comeback D-Backs: The Diamondbacks were held scoreless over the 1st 4 Innings by Tanner Houck but scored 3 in the 5th and 3 more in the 6th on a 3-run Home Run from Eugenio Suarez. Sox swept in a series for the 5th time this season and the 3rd time at Fenway. Suarez had 8 hits and 10 RBIs in the 3 Games for Arizona.

On the Board 1st: Tristan Casas, who went 0-for-4 with 4 strikeouts on Saturday, gave the Red Sox their 1st lead of the Series against the Diamondbacks with a 2-out, solo Home Run in the 1st Inning off Merrill Kelly. It was Casas' 8th Home Run of the season and his 2nd since coming off the Injured List. The Home Run would have left all 30 Big League Parks according to Baseball Savant.

Milestone for Raffy: Rafael Devers hit his 200th career Home Run (958th career game) with a 3-run shot in the 4th Inning that put the Red Sox in front, 4-0. Devers Home Run would have only left Fenway and stayed in the other 29 Big League Parks according to Baseball Savant.  Devers has hit 86 Home Runs at Fenway and 114 on the road. It was also his 1st career Home Run against the Arizona Diamondbacks.  He's now homered against all 29 opponents.

Tanner's Day on the Hill:  Tanner Houck got 3 Double Plays in working 4 scoreless innings to open up his start Sunday afternoon.  Diamondbacks pulled to within a run with 3 runs in the Top of the 5th Inning. Houck gave up a 3-run Home Run to Eugenio Suarez in the 6th that gave Arizona its 1st lead of the game.  

#89's Line- 6.0 IP. 7 Hits. 6 R. 6 ER. 4 BB. 2 K's. 1 Home Run allowed. 21 of 27 1st-Pitch Strikes.  The Red Sox are now 0-7 in Houck's last 7 starts and he's 0-3 with 4 no-decisions on his last 7 starts.

No Home Cooking: The Sox have lost 7 of their last 9 at Fenway and are 6 Under .500 at Home (29-35) for the 1st time this season.
