McCullers Shuts Down Indians as Astros Top Tribe 3-1; Three Takeaways From the Loss

2. About That ‘O’

The Indians walked out of Houston after a solid effort on Saturday with a rough night at the plate on Sunday, scoring a single run in the final frame in the 3-1 loss.

They were held in check by Lance McCullers Jr., who breezed through the first five innings throwing a perfect game and looking like he might make history.

Then Jason Kipnis started the sixth breaking up the no-no, and then nine hitter Greg Allen also got a hit, and Michael Brantley doubled and eventually scored in the ninth – but other than that – the offense was nowhere to be found.

The top three in the Tribe order who have led the way the last few weeks, Lindor, Brantley and Ramirez, went a combined
1-for-13 with three strikeouts.
