It was a four run 1st for Cleveland as a leadoff home run from Myles Straw got things started on the second pitch of his at-bat. Jose Ramirez would walk and proceed to steal one of his three stolen bases in the contest. Franmil Reyes would drive in Ramirez with a one out RBI double. Bradley Zimmer would then crush a home run into the right field stands, giving Cleveland a 4-0 lead in the 1st.

By the end of the 3rd, Texas had tied things back up at four as Sam Hentges was struggling to get outs consistently. A fielding error from Jose Ramirez did not help matters as two runs, including the tying run, came across due to the error. Hentges would exit after the 4th inning, allowing four runs on rive hits and two walks.
Luckily, Cleveland was able to fight back and score four runs in the 4th along with another in the 5th on an Owen Miller homer.While Texas managed to score two more runs, Cleveland got an insurance run in the 8th from Zimmer who drove in Ramirez.
Cleveland is now back over .500 on the year (63-62) as they are set to square off with the Boston Red Sox in a three games series at home.
