Gurriel helps Astros beat Guardians 2-1 to win series

Another solid pitching performance paired with just enough offense helped the Houston Astros beat the Cleveland Guardians on Wednesday night. Yuli Gurriel and José Siri had two hits each, Cristian Javier tied a career high with nine strikeouts and the Astros topped the Guardians 2-1 to win their series. “You’d rather score a whole bunch of runs and sit back a little bit, but sometimes it’s not like that," manager Dusty Baker said.
