Astros Even With Guardians After Home Win
The Houston Astros defeated the Cleveland Guardians, 5-2 in Game 4 of the League Championship Series today. Making an impact was designated hitter Rodrigo Moreno, who was 3-4 with 3 singles. The win moves Houston into a 2-2 tie with Cleveland in the series.

Had Danny Delgado not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the seventh, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and runners on 1st and 2nd, Delgado hit a 3-run home run. That made the score 5-2, in favor of the Astros.

Moreno attributed the win to "a well-rounded effort by the whole team."

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Minute Maid Park in Houston.
