AMERICAN LEAGUE
INDIANS 10, ASTROS 9
CLEVELAND -- Greg Allen had one thought as he saw his teammates waiting for him at home plate.
"Just don't get too roughed up in there," he said. "It's something I'll remember forever. It's all still sinking in. It's pretty special."
Allen homered on Brad Peacock's first pitch in the 14th inning, and the Cleveland Indians stunned the Houston Astros 10-9 on Sunday.
Allen's first home run of the season landed in the seats in right and triggered a wild celebration for the Indians, who rallied twice to overcome another impressive performance for Jose Altuve.
Cleveland scored five runs in the ninth. Michael Brantley's two-out RBI single off Hector Rondon tied it at 8-8.
Evan Gattis' two-out home run off Dan Otero (1-1) gave Houston a 9-8 lead in the 13th, but Yonder Alonso responded with a leadoff drive against Collin McHugh in the bottom half.
Houston wasted a stellar day for Altuve, who had four hits and drove in two runs. The reigning American League MVP had a streak of 10 consecutive hits, breaking his own club record, before he lined out to center in the ninth.
The Astros trailed 3-2 before Altuve's tying RBI single in the eighth. Carlos Correa and Yuli Gurriel followed with run-scoring singles before Gattis made it 8-3 with a three-run shot to center.
Jose Ramirez sparked Cleveland's big ninth with a leadoff double against Ken Giles, capping a 17-pitch battle. Singles for Edwin Encarnacion, Alonso, Jason Kipnis and pinch-hitter Erik Gonzalez then trimmed Houston's lead to 8-6.
Rondon replaced Will Harris and retired Allen on a liner to left for the second out. But Lindor and Brantley delivered consecutive singles, tying the game.

Nuno (1-0) and Pruitt followed Sergio Romo, who was charged with three runs in 1/3 of an inning as the starter as the Rays went with an unconventional pitching lineup for the third consecutive day.
YANKEES 3, ANGELS 1 Masahiro Tanaka scattered three hits over six strong innings and struck out fellow Japanese countryman Shohei Ohtani twice as host New York defeated the Los Angeles. Brett Gardner had three hits for New York, which won five of six against the Angels this season.

BREWERS 8, METS 7 Domingo Santana's two-run double highlighted a four-run seventh inning for host Milwaukee which shelled the New York Mets' battered bullpen again and then held on for the victory.
CARDINALS 6, PIRATES 4 Harrison Bader's pinch-hit bloop single off Pittsburgh closer Felipe Vazquez keyed a late rally and helped visiting St. Louis surge past Pittsburgh. St. Louis loaded the bases off Michael Feliz (0-2) and the Pirates brought in Vazquez with one out in the eighth. Bader fought off a 99 mph fastball from Vazquez and dumped it into shallow right field to tie the game. Vazquez walked Yairo Munoz on four pitches to hand St. Louis the lead.

Acuna waved his arms "safe" as he crossed the first base bag before his left foot gave out in the seventh inning, and he went sprawling.
