Believe it or not, the Cleveland Guardians led in the first inning of Friday night’s 9-3 loss to the Houston Astros thanks to a solo home run by Amed Rosario, who has now homered in three of his last five games after slugging four home runs in the previous 95 games.
Unfortunately, that lead did not last long, as Trey Mancini and the Astros went to town on rookie starting pitcher Hunter Gaddis. Mancini hit a second inning home run to tie the game before launching a grand slam off Gaddis in the third inning to give Houston a 6-1 lead.
