Jose Altuve, Jeremy Pena power the Astros past the Guardians, 9-3
HOUSTON -- Jose Altuve hit a three-run home run, Jeremy Pena had two solo shots and the Houston Astros beat the Cleveland Guardians 9-3 on Friday night.
Altuves eighth home run of the season came on the first pitch of the night from Guardians reliever Matt Festa . It landed in the first row of the left- field Crawford Boxes.
Penas first home run of the night came in the third inning to cut Clevelands lead to a run, and then he led off the seventh with his sixth home run of the season and third multi-homer game of his career. He finished the night 3 for 5 with three RBI.
Altuve added an RBI double later in the inning for a season-high four RBI.
After failing to complete the first inning in his previous start, Tatsuya Imai (4-3) struck out a career-high 11 batters while allowing three runs on six hits over six innings without issuing a walk. He retired the final 11 he faced after giving up a two-run homer to Rhys Hoskins in the third inning.
The 11 strikeouts were a season high by an Astros pitcher, and its the first time theyve had a pitcher strike out at least 11 without walking a batter since Yusei Kikuchi on Aug. 31, 2024.
Houston's Yordan Alvarez was 1 for 4 with a walk to extend his on-base streak to 25 games.
Tanner Bibee (2-8) was charged with four runs, three earned, over 5 1/3 innings.
Erik Sabrowski allowed two runs over 1/3 of an inning for Cleveland after being reinstated from the injured list before the game.
Astros RHP Spencer Arrighetti (7-2, 2.57 ERA) was set to face LHP Joey Cantillo (5-3, 4.38 ERA) on Saturday.
