Astros Sink Indians In Rubber Match

Astros

Brian McCann's two-run homer in the seventh gave the Astros all the offense they would need in their 3-1 win over the Indians at  Minute Maid Park.  Lance McCullers was lights out, tossing seven  shutout, one-hit innings, with eight strikeouts on his way to 6-and-2.   Ken Giles got the final two outs for his eighth save.  Carlos Carrasco  took the tough-luck loss, giving up three runs and pitching into the  eighth.  Edwin Encarnacion had the RBI for Cleveland, which dropped back  under .500 through 45 games after losing two-of-three in the series.   The 'Stros are 30-and-18.
