CLEVELAND, OH The Houston Astros took a ruckus Indians crowd out of the game early, jumping on Sam Hentges for six runs. The Indians left the bases loaded three times throughout the game, and had at least one base hit in all 9 innings. Houston s early lead proved to be too much for the tribe, as the Astros cruised to a 6-3 win.
Tribe starter Sam Hentges once again struggled to find the strike zone, and the Houston lineup made him pay. The big left hander finished the game with a final line of 6 warned runs on 6 hits, striking out 3 while walking 2.
