The Houston Astros won their fifth-straight game with Wednesday's victory over the Boston Red Sox.

During the surge they have a franchise-record 78 hits and remain tied atop the American League West standings. They also swept the Red Sox at Fenway Park for the first time in franchise history.

"We've been there and done that for a long time -- the past seven years," said closer Ryan Pressly. "I think this is kind of when we turn it on. This team, we're built to win championships and to go deep in the playoffs. We know what it takes to get there and we've just got to string good innings and good at-bats together, and just keep doing what we're doing right now and things will take off."
