The Boston Red Sox hardly needed the help Houston’s outfielders gave them with the offensive week they put up.

Xander Bogaerts hit a three-run homer and Ryan Hanigan had three singles and drove in four to lead the Red Sox to a 10-9 victory over the Astros on Sunday.

Hanigan’s last hit was a gift that scored the tying run when two outfielders watched a routine fly ball fall between them. He then scored the go-ahead run on Mookie Betts’ triple.

“Those things happen when you’re playing good,” Boston’s Hanley Ramirez said. “Little things happen to go your way. We’ve got to keep taking advantage of that and keep adding wins every day.”

It was the seventh win in eight games for the Red Sox, and completed a 6-1 homestand in which they scored 73 runs.

In a game that had four lead changes, the Red Sox regained the edge 9-8 in the seventh against Scott Feldman (2-3). Hanigan’s fly fell between center fielder Carlos Gomez and right fielder George Springer, allowing Josh Rutledge to score from first. Betts then hit one in the right-center gap.

“I saw the play live with two outfielders converging and both stop,” Astros manager A.J. Hinch said. “I knew something happened. You’ve got to play the game until the ball stops you. Gomez called it and for whatever reason stopped. George heard it and he stopped.”

Boston’s Jackie Bradley Jr. had a single to extend his majors’ longest hitting streak this season to 21 games.

“It wasn’t a pretty game today — on both sides,” Red Sox manager John Farrell said. “The defense contributed in this one; or factored in heavily.”

Luis Valbuena had a three-run homer and five RBIs for the Astros, and Carlos Correa added a solo homer.

“ I called it and didn’t catch it,” Gomez said. “ We lost the game because of me today. There’s nothing I can say. We lost because of me.”

Heath Hembree ( 2- 0) pitched two innings of relief for the win. Craig Kimbrel got the final three outs for his 10th save.
