HOUSTON, TX -- Francisco Lindor hit two of Cleveland's four home runs, driving in three of the six total runs for the tribe. Lindor's first home run of the day will be one that goes down in the record books, as Frankie launched his 100th career long-shot. Brad Hand came out of the bullpen in the ninth inning and shut down the Astros to secure his eighth save of the young season.

Tribe outfielder Tyler Naquin contributed two hits, one of which was an RBI double that put the Indians ahead 4-3 in the seventh inning. Carlos Gonzales and Leonys Martin each hit homers to add to the hot bats of the Indians. Indians' ace Corey Kluber went five full innings, giving up 3 earned runs on 7 hits. Adam CImber got the win in tonight's game, pitching 1.2 innings giving up zero hits, striking out one batter.
