CLEVELAND -- The wins continue to pile up, but nothing is coming easy for the Astros. They have three-fifths of their starting rotation to begin the season on the injured list, have been without slugger Yordan Alvarez for more than a month and were without two of their best high-leverage relief pitchers on Saturday.

Even when ace starter Hunter Brown was staked to a three-run lead in the sixth inning at Progressive Field after a two-run homer from Yainer Diaz, the Astros still needed contributions from nearly every inch of their roster to pull out a gritty 5-3 win in 10 innings over the Guardians.
