8-7 Loss Extends Houston Losing Streak
Both teams had their chances, but the Cleveland Guardians eventually prevailed.

The Cleveland Guardians topped the Houston Astros, 8-7, with center fielder Blake Ballard playing a big role. Ballard went 3-4 with a home run and a double. He scored 3 runs for the Guardians in the win. Apostolos Tsatsos was the winner. Over 7 innings, he allowed 5 runs on 8 hits, with 2 walks and 2 strikeouts.

Alex Rodriguez Jr., who finished 5th in the AL in on-base percentage with .444 in 2038, aided the Cleveland cause with a run-scoring hit-by-pitch in the bottom of the sixth. For the game, the shortstop drove in one run.

"You know, at the end of the day, it's about who scores the most runs," said Cleveland manager Austin Green.

Houston's current losing streak has reached 10 games.
