The Astros win Game 2 of their Division Series against the Indians, 3 – 1, behind a great pitching performance by Gerrit Cole, who gives up just 1 run on 3 hits in 7 innings, while striking out 12 and walking none. Cleveland takes the first lead on a solo homer by Francisco Lindor in the 3rd, but in the bottom of the 6th, Houston goes ahead when Andrew Miller, in relief of Carlos Carrasco, does not retire any of the three batters he faces. The Astros then add an insurance run in the 7th on Alex Bregman’s homer off Trevor Bauer.
