HOUSTON (AP) — Jed Lowrie broke up a combined no-hit bid by Cleveland with a one-out home run in the ninth inning Thursday, and the Indians beat the Houston Astros 5-1.
Indians starter Trevor Bauer was pulled after throwing 111 pitches through six innings. He struck out a career-high 11 and walked five.
Relievers Kyle Crockett and Scott Atchison each pitched a scoreless innings before Hagadone took over.
Hagadone struck out Chris Carter to begin the ninth. Lowrie then sent a 94 mph fastball far over the left-center field wall for Houston’s only hit.
The Indians have not pitched a no-hitter since Len Baker threw a perfect game in 1981 against Toronto.
Cleveland opened its season Monday night, when ace Corey Kluber held Houston hitless until Jose Altuve’s two-out single in the sixth.
