CLEVELAND, OH -- The Houston Astros were met with boos when they took to the field on Thursday, as it was their first game in a packed Progressive Field since being outed for cheating by the MLB. Jose Altuve responded to the crowd with a game changing go-ahead grand slam in the 5th inning, turning the game on it's side. Houston rolled from that point forward, knocking off the Indians by the final score of 7-2.

The Indians demise came in the 5th inning, when Straw led off with a would be pop fly that landed between Harold Ramirez and Cesar Hernandez, and things took a turn for the worse. The Astros followed up the double with a walk and a bunt, before Altuve stepped in and emptied the bases.

The Cleveland Indians will look to bounce back on Friday night against the visiting Astros. First pitch is set for 7:10 pm ET at Progressive Field in Cleveland, Ohio.
