The Houston Astros rallied late on Wednesday but fell short to the Cleveland Indians, 5-4. The ball club fell two runs short of completing their second sweep against Cleveland this season, as they finish 6-1 for 2021 against the AL Central team.
Starting pitcher Lance McCullers Jr. had a quality outing that was tattered by leaving the bases juiced in his exit.
