Neal Goes Deep Twice in 9-2 Guardians Win
Cleveland took on Houston in front of a lively crowd.

Getting offensive support from Ryan Neal, the Cleveland Guardians topped the Houston Astros, 9-2. Neal went 2-3 with 2 home runs and a walk. He drove in 3 runs and scored twice for the Guardians. Kensaku Shiba, 2-0, earned the win in relief. He allowed 1 run on 6 hits in 4.2 innings.

Cleveland used the bat of Ricardo Fernandez to get the win. The catcher hammered a 3-run home run in the top of the second inning to put the Guardians ahead, 3-0. It was his lone hit in 4 at-bats, but it did its damage.

"We'll kick back tonight, then get set for the next one," Fernandez said.

Houston drops to 8-11.
