Trevor Bauer had gone six perfect innings, sans five based on balls. Kyle Crockett threw another no-hit inning. Scott Atchison followed without giving up a hit. Enter Nick Hagadone in the ninth inning. Hagadone got Chris Carter looking for the first out. Up stepped Jed Lowrie—a once can’t miss prospect with the Boston Red Sox.
The good news for the Cleveland Indians, Hagadone helped the Indians to the win. Yet in the meantime, Lowrie took him deep with a monster shot to left-center field. While the Tribe did walk away with a 5-1 victory and took two of three from Houston, the team no-no was gone.
Bauer got his first win of the year, while Roberto Perez of the Indians led the hit parade, smacking his first home run of the year.
