CLEVELAND -- Smiling from ear-to-ear, Astros left-hander Colton Gordon grabbed the game ball from his locker and proudly showed it off to reporters after picking up his first Major League win Friday night, even pointing out that the ball had an authentication sticker.
If the Astros had wanted, they could have passed out game balls all around the Progressive Field clubhouse after Gordon’s five innings of one-run ball, terrific outfield defense by Mauricio Dubón and Jacob Melton and some aggressive baserunning in the fifth inning sparked the Astros’ 4-2 win over the Guardians in the series opener.
