Cleveland took on Houston in front of a lively crowd.

The exploits of first baseman Brian Ellis, who led the AL in home runs with 51 in 2105, helped the Cleveland Guardians defeat the Houston Astros, 10-2. Ellis was 2 for 3 with a home run, a double, and 2 walks. He scored 4 times and drove in 2. The Guardians improved their record to 53-64 with the win over Houston.

J.J. Kirby hit a 3-run home run off Yao-pang Yun in the bottom of the first, which put the Guardians ahead, 3-0. In addition to the homer, Kirby had 1 double, while going 2 for 4.

"Not much to say," Houston manager Zeb Currier said, when asked afterward about the defeat.
