J.J. Kirby, who finished 2nd in the AL in home runs with 45 last year, led Cleveland to a win over Houston. The final score was 11-5. Kirby scored 2 times, while going 3 for 4. The right fielder also was credited with 1 RBI. The winning pitcher was 24-year old left-handed pitcher Morgan Dunphy. He tossed 93 pitches over 5 innings, allowing 3 runs on 5 hits. Houston now has a record of 2-6.

Cleveland used the hitting of Dave Steinhart to pick up the win. The third baseman clubbed a 2-run home run in the top of the seventh inning to put the Guardians on top, 8-5. For the game, Steinhart had 1 home run and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"We need to keep playing good baseball," Kirby told the Cleveland Citizen.
