This one was as exciting as advertised as the Indians held on to defeat the Astros, 5-4. Knotted at 4-4 after the Astros tied the game in the top of the 4th, Josh Hale led off for the Indians with a triple to the gap in left center. After a Mark Bowles line drive to 3rd almost turned into a double play, Greg Bennett rifled a fly ball to center to get Hale home and give the Tribe the lead for good. Pina and Harvey both struggled at times, but shut down the opposite side for much of the game. The Stros plated 3 on a bases loaded, 2-out double by their leadoff hitter (sorry guys, no book right now). The Tribe responded with bloops, bunts and bleeders in the bottom of the inning to take the lead. At least three Astros had multiple hits in the game, but Pina set down 9 of the last 10 to seal the W.
