CINCINNATI - The Indians' offense was a no-show for the in the first segment of the Battle of Ohio.
Scott Feldman struck out nine in six innings, as Cincinnati beat the Indians, 5-1, Monday night at Great American Ball Park.
The Indians arrived in Cincinnati after sweeping a three-game series from Houston over the weekend at Minute Maid Park. The Astros have the best record in the big leagues.
Monday, however, the only offense the Indians could manage was a solo home run by Jason Kipnis to start the sixth inning. It was Kipnis' fourth homer of the season, all of them coming since he moved into the leadoff spot on May 15.
