This Opening Day game matched reigning Cy Young winner Corey Kluber against eventual Cy Young winner for this season Dallas Keuchel, and it did not disappoint as a sharply pitched affair. Kluber carried a no-no into the sixth but when he did allow a two-out single to Altuve, he swiped second and scored the game’s first run on a George Springer single. Keuchel had only allowed one hit himself through six, but the Indians answered with a pair of singles to open to seventh. It was to no avail as Keuchel, Tony Sipp, and Luke Gregerson combined to retire the last nine Cleveland batters (Gregerson needed just five pitches in the ninth). The Astros added a run in the eighth for the final 2-0 margin.
