Houck, Vazquez grand slam lead Red Sox to 8-2 rout of Braves

PAUL NEWBERRY (AP Sports Writer)The Associated Press

Rookie right-hander Tanner Houck struck out 10 in another dominant performance, Christian Vazquez capped a big inning with a grand slam, and the Boston Red Sox routed the Atlanta Braves 8-2 Saturday night. Giving the Red Sox reason to be hopeful after a dismal season, Houck (3-0) surrendered his first earned run in three big league starts but thoroughly stifled baseball's most explosive offense. Boston did all its scoring in an eight-run second capped by Vazquez's second career grand slam.
