Guardians Grind Out 2-1 Win
Cleveland got a first-rate effort from pitcher Jose C. Medina, who frustrated Houston hitters en route to a 2-1 Guardians triumph at Minute Maid Park. Medina yielded no runs over 7.2 innings to notch the win. He scattered 5 hits, walked 2, and struck out 7. His record improves to 10-3. Heath Hembree recorded the save, making him 16 for 20.

José Álvarez, who is tied for 9th in the AL with a .378 on-base percentage, had a direct impact on the outcome. Álvarez contributed a run-scoring single in the top of the seventh inning to put Cleveland up, 2-0.

"Jose C. giving us the start that he did was huge," said Cleveland manager Tristan Bugbie.

The win puts Cleveland at 35-55.
