The Guardians claimed a surprising series win over Houston after entering the three-game set mired in a 10-game skid. The Astros dropped back-to-back home contests for the first time since suffering a three-game sweep to the San Francisco Giants in their first homestand of the year.

Houston finished 2-for-21 with runners in scoring position as the Astros lost a second consecutive game to Cleveland.

A direct result of the numerous injuries that have thinned Houston's roster this season has been the steady stream of minor leaguers making their big league debuts for the Astros.

Concluding their series against the Guardians' yesterday evening and shockingly failing to grasp one game, Cleveland surprisingly sweeps Houston resulting in a harsh series loss just after sweeping the Dodgers' down in Los Angeles.
