Indians Get 8-6 Win Against Astros Thanks to Flurry of Home Runs; three takeaways

CLEVELAND– The Cleveland Indians entered Saturday night’s game against the Houston Astros at one game under the .500 mark, and they left Progressive Field with an even record of 25-25.

Through the first 50 games of the season the Indians managed to play average baseball, luckily for them it has been enough to hold onto the AL Central lead.

Fans didn’t have to wait until the games finale to see some fireworks, as the offense was able to lead the Tribe to an 8-6 victory, and got three home runs off of Houston’s starter Lance McCullers. Indians starter Carlos Carrasco had his hands full from the first pitch as Houston challenged in every at bat.

The Indians have an opportunity to split the four game weekend series tomorrow afternoon when Trevor Bauer takes the hill. Here are three takeaways from Saturday night’s win.
