HOUSTON -- Carlos Carrasco came into Sunday night's game having never allowed a run at Minute Maid Park over 15 1/3 innings in two starts. The Astros finally got to the Indians right-hander. Brian McCann's two-run homer in the seventh inning was the decisive blow as the Indians lost, 3-1, in the rubber match of the three-game series.
The Indians managed only one hit off Houston starter Lance McCullers Jr. in his seven innings and collected only three for the game.
Six of the first nine Cleveland batters struck out against McCullers, who retired the first 15 batters he faced.
