Guardians Edged, 1-0, by Houston
Kihachi Okuhara, who finished 4th in the AL in strikeouts with 212 in 2106, willed the Houston Astros to a shutout win, 1-0, over the Cleveland Guardians. The Astros saw their record improve to 85-62.

Houston got a knockout punch from Dave Huston. The third baseman hammered a solo home run in the bottom of the ninth inning to win the game. It might've been his only hit, but it decided the outcome.

"We did just enough to win," Huston said.
