HOUSTON — The Cleveland Indians took a no-hitter into the ninth inning and eventually settled for a 5-1 victory over the Houston Astros in the finale of a three-game series Thursday at Minute Maid Park.

Indians starter Trevor Bauer (1-0) worked six hitless innings and struck out 11. Bauer walked five.

Kyle Crockett pitched the seventh and struck out two. Scott Atchison pitched a hitless eighth and struck out one.

Hagadone struck out Chris Carter to open the ninth, but Lowrie followed with a home run to left-center. Hagadone retired the next two batters.

Cleveland pitchers struck out 16 and walked seven in the game.
