Overview

  • The Astros broke a 3-3 tie with two 10th-inning runs scored on a Hunter Gaddis wild pitch and an Isaac Paredes RBI single.
  • Yainer Diaz’s two-run homer in the sixth gave Houston a 3-0 lead before José Ramírez tied it with a seventh-inning two-run shot, extending his on-base streak to 33 games.
  • Starter Hunter Brown delivered 5⅓ innings of one-run ball with nine strikeouts, and five relievers combined for 4⅔ scoreless frames despite limited use of Houston’s primary late-inning arms.
  • The Guardians have dropped eight of their last 12 games and managed just five runs across their last three losses, hampered by injuries to key players.
  • Game 3 is set for June 8 at Progressive Field, with Cleveland sending Tanner Bibee to the mound against Houston lefty Brandon Walter.
