Game Preview

Hours after the Astros made the shocking move of optioning veteran first baseman Jose Abreu to allow him to work on his swing at its Florida spring training facility, his replacements played a role in Houston’s 10-9, 10-inning victory over the Cleveland Guardians on Tuesday.

The Astros claimed the opener of this three-game series, set to continue on Wednesday in Houston, by erasing a three-run, first-inning deficit and later getting a two-run, walk-off homer from pinch-hitter Victor Caratini. Joey Loperfido and Jon Singleton — the players most impacted by the Abreu move — delivered timely hits that keyed the Astros’ five-run frame in the fourth inning.

It was the MLB debut for Loperfido, a top prospect in the organization.
