Huge Series: Indians @ Astros - Game 3
The series finale was significantly less interesting and/or dramatic than the first two games. The Indians and Astros scored 2 runs apiece in the second inning before the Astros went on a hitting spree in the 4th & 6th innings, increasing their lead to 8-2. A one-run 8th inning for the Indians made it 8-3 Astros. Craig Kimbrel was brought on in the 9th just to be safe and to get him some routine work since he has not pitched in the series. The Astros completed the 3 game sweep in Houston against the previously best record in baseball. The Astros now hold that claim with a 38-10 record having won 9 in a row and 13 of their last 14 games.
