Indians down Astros 5-1
After right-hander Trevor Bauer went six no-hit innings against the Astros on Thursday, the Indians’ bullpen took over, but closer Nick Hagadone could not complete the feat after allowing a one-out homer to Jed Lowrie in the ninth inning of the Tribe’s 5-1 win. “Any time you have a no-hitter going, it’s fun,” Bauer said.
