Houston Downed, 5-2, by Guardians
The Cleveland Guardians topped the Houston Astros, 5-2, in American League action at Progressive Field. The standout performance belonged to Cleveland pitcher and Belmont, North Carolina, native Jeffrey Springs. The winner in relief was Danny Coulombe. He is now 1-0. The left-hander allowed no runs on 1 hit in 1.1 innings. Cleveland has now won 5 straight, while the Astros have lost 6 in a row.

Cleveland got a knockout punch from Jorge Soler. The designated hitter hammered a 3-run home run in the bottom of the ninth inning to win the game. It might've been his only hit, but it decided the outcome.

"This team is real focused right now," said Cleveland manager Paul B.
