CLEVELAND -- Four home runs were just enough to support a shaky start by Carlos Carrasco and lift the struggling Indians past the Astros at Progressive Field on Saturday, 8-6.
Yonder Alonso hit a two-run home run in the fourth for his 10th on the season. Jason Kipnis also took Astros starter Lance McCullers Jr. deep in the fourth on a no-doubt two-run shot of his own. Edwin Encarnacion went 3-for-3, including his 11th homer, which knocked out McCullers in the fifth. Michael Brantley also got in on the derby with a solo shot in the seventh.
