CLEVELAND: The Indians spent five innings Thursday night floundering against Houston Astros starting pitcher Brett Oberholtzer.
Then, in the sixth inning, they flipped a switch and found a power surge to win their third straight game against the Astros, 3-1.
The Indians had only four hits — all singles — through the first five innings and then rattled off four consecutive extra-base hits to do all of their damage in one swift blow.
Trailing 1-0, Francisco Lindor got it started with a home run — the second of his season and career — to the bleachers in left field to open the inning and tie it.
