DENVER<\/strong> | Wilyer Abreu and Nate Eaton drove in two runs each to back an 11-strikeout performance from Sonny Gray and the Boston Red Sox beat the Colorado Rockies 5-2 on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n

Gray (9-1) allowed a run on six hits with three walks in seven innings. The right-hander\u2019s 11 strikeouts were a season high and he matched his season high with 93 pitches \u2014 65 for strikes.<\/p>\n

Justin Slaten pitched a scoreless eighth, and Garrett Whitlock gave up Ezequiel Tovar\u2019s solo homer in the ninth to close it out.<\/p>\n

Eaton, who went 3 for 4, walked to lead off the game against rookie left-hander Sean Sullivan (0-2) making his third start. Eaton stole second base and scored on Abreu\u2019s triple.\n<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Eaton had a two-out RBI single for a 2-0 lead in the second inning, and Abreu homered for the 10th time to make it 3-1 in the fifth. Eaton had an RBI double off Zach Agnos before scoring on Ceddanne Rafaela\u2019s single for a 5-1 advantage in the sixth.<\/p>\n

Willi Castro hit his sixth home run \u2014 a one-out 435-foot shot to the upper deck in right field in the second \u2014 for Colorado\u2019s first run.<\/p>\n

Sullivan allowed three runs on five hits and five walks in five innings. Agnos gave up two runs on five hits in three innings.<\/p>\n

Boston improved to 20-20 on the road one day after blowing a lead in the ninth for the first time this season on Jake McCarthy\u2019s bases-loaded triple in a 3-2 loss.<\/p>\n
