The Houston Astros earned a win at Progressive Field, stopping the Cleveland Guardians, 4-2. Starting pitcher Kodai Senga played a big role in his team's success. Robert Stephenson earned the save, his 14th in 15 tries. The losing streak for Cleveland has now reached 5 games.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Daniel Vogelbach? The Houston first baseman had a 2-run double in the top of the fourth inning to put the Astros on top, 3-2. For the game, Vogelbach had 1 double and 1 single in 3 at-bats.

"Kodai's a gamer," said Houston manager Joe Turnage. "Glad he's on our side."
