Astros Waste Great Game from Bregman
Despite a great performance by Houston third baseman Alex Bregman, the Cleveland Guardians defeated the Astros by the score of 9-7 at Minute Maid Park. Bregman was 2 for 5 with 2 home runs. He drove in 6 runs and scored twice. Emmanuel Clase earned the save, his 7th, for the Guardians. The win brings the Guardians to 12-20, an awful start for a team that made the playoffs just last season.

Kyle Manzardo delivered a 2-run home run for Cleveland in the top of the ninth. The designated hitter went 3 for 5 in the game, including 1 home run, 1 single, and 1 double. He scored 1 run and batted in 2.

"We got the victory," said Manzardo. "That's all that matters at the end of the day."
