CLEVELAND -- David Paulinos major league debut was brief, yet quite eventful.The right-hander pitched three innings, allowed four runs and threw two wild pitches Thursday as the Cleveland Indians outslugged Houston 10-7. The Astros dropped 2 1/2 games behind Baltimore for the final American League wild-card spot.Paulino (0-1), who was promoted from Triple-A Fresno two days earlier, allowed four hits, two walks and hit a batter. He failed to strike out any of the 15 batters he faced.I felt really good, thank God, and honestly didnt feel any pressure going out there in the first, the 6-foot-7 Paulino said through an interpreter. I got a little tired in the long (third) inning, but that was about all.Rookie Alex Bregman tied his career high with three RBI, while Colby Rasmus and rookie Yuli Gurriel homered for the second straight game for the Astros, who went 3-4 on their road trip.Gurriel hit his first home run Wednesday in his 14th big league game, but Houston lost the final two contests of its four-game series against AL Central leader Cleveland.Coming into this series, you would happily take a split against the Indians, Houston manager A.J. Hinch said. But with the way it happened -- losing the last two the way we did -- youre going to be a mess, psychologically, about it.The Indians scored four times off Paulino in the third, taking the lead for good at 4-1. Two runs came around on a controversial bases-loaded wild pitch by Paulino, which led to Hinchs ejection by crew chief Jim Joyce.Lonnie Chisenhall swung at a pitch in the dirt, which bounced away from catcher Jason Castro. Replays showed that Chisenhall fouled off the ball, but Joyce permitted both runs to count as the play was not reviewable.Common sense loses again, so all you can do is wear it, Hinch said. The umpires are trying their best and theyre good umpires, but its extremely disappointing to walk away like that.Paulino because the eighth consecutive Astros starter to fail to complete six innings. It was his first appearance since throwing five innings for Fresno on Sept. 1.Brady Rodgers followed and gave up five runs in one inning as Cleveland eventually went up 10-3. Houston made 17 pitching changes and allowed 25 runs in the series.It was a big ask for us to expect Paulino to go long, Hinch said. I thought he started loosening up and his (velocity) had a little bit of an uptick after the first, but the third just took forever, which is why we went to the bullpen at that point.Indians right-hander Trevor Bauer (11-6) allowed five runs in five innings. Cody Allen tossed a perfect ninth for his 26th save.The game was delayed by rain for 55 minutes in the middle of the sixth.ROAD WARRIORAstros 2B Jose Altuve, who went 0 for 4, leads the majors with a .387 average on the road. The last player to post a higher mark in away games was Seattles Ichiro Suzuki, who batted .405 in 2004.TRAINERS ROOMAstros: SS Carlos Correa (left shoulder inflammation) returned to Houston for additional medical tests Wednesday. Hinch said he was optimistic the 2015 AL Rookie of the Year will return to action this weekend.UP NEXTAstros: RHP Joe Musgrove opens a three-game home series against the Cubs. Houston has averaged 3.0 runs scored during his six starts.Indians: RHP Danny Salazar takes the hill to begin a three-game series at Minnesota. He is 6-4 with a 3.38 ERA in 12 road starts this year.Air Max 270 React Electro Green .875,000, avoiding arbitration.

They finally found it in London -- and hope to bring that turnover mojo back home.The Giants had four interceptions Sunday against the Los Angeles Rams, tripling their season total, as turnovers and pressure up front proved decisive in a 17-10 win .Landon Collins returned the first pick 44 yards for a touchdown, the second 18 yards into Rams territory to set up his teams only touchdown on offense. Hed managed only one interception in his previous 22 games. Dominique Antonio-Cromartie batted cleanup, catching two ill-advised Case Keenum lobs into the end zone to kill the Rams final bids for a comeback.And all afternoon, a swarming front four and linebacker corps kept Todd Gurley under control and Keenum scrambling for space.Keenum said he was surprised at the aggressiveness of the Giants pass rush , with `backers and safeties coming more frequently on blitzes than the Rams had expected based on game tape. He was sacked three times and fumbled twice, recovering both.They came after us numerous times (with) zero coverage behind it, Keenum said. I thought our line did a good job of seeing some of that stuff, but when they bring more than we can block, theres nothing that we can do.McAdoo said quarterback pressures, hurries and sacks usually come in bunches ... and today was the day.Defensive end Olivier Vernon said creating turnovers was just something that we had to work on. Things have started to come to fruition now.Cornerback Eli Apple said the defense was definitely hot right now, and we just have to keep it going.Collins had the game of his two-year career. The former second-round pick out of Alabama led the team with eight solo tackles and knocked down two other passes alongside his two crucial picks.On his 44-yard touchdown return, Collins fielded Tavon Austins high-tipped pass, darted to the right and cut back. Rams tight end Lance Kendricks lunged at his legs, but Collins kept his feet and turned upfield, barreling over center Tim Barnes at the 2-yard line.Collins looked like a running back. For him to be able to tuck the ball away and push the pile through the end zone shows a lot, McAdoo said.I was looking for a block for him, said defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul, but he did it on his own.Other takeaways from Sundays London game:GIANTS STRIKE GOULDSitting alone at his locker, Robbie Gould reflected on his first points as a Giant -- and his unexpected opportunity out of the Big Blue.Its really an unbelievable place, and its great to come overseas and get a win, said Gould, who set Chicagos all-time scoring record in 11 seasons as a Bear before this years preseason cut in a salary-cap move.dddddddddddd.Six weeks later, he was taking his 3-year-old son to the swimming pool when the Giants came calling in search of a veteran replacement for Josh Brown . Three days and a transatlantic flight later, Gould kicked two extra points and a 29-yard field goal in Sundays win.Gould has no idea how long the Giants will want him to stay as the NFL investigates new evidence of Browns abusive treatment of his then-wife.Its a great opportunity, whether it lasts one game or another 11 years, said the 34-year-old Gould. Its a pretty special weekend.RAMS EYE OFFENSIVE CHANGESAfter a four-interception performance, Rams coach Jeff Fisher is under pressure to make a dramatic change to the Rams sputtering offense -- perhaps to give No. 1 overall pick Jared Goff a try at quarterback.But Fisher is adamant: The last person on offense he might consider benching right now is Keenum. As far as hes concerned, others belong on the hot seat.Jared is going to play when we feel Jared is ready, Fisher said, dismissing calls for Goff to replace Keenum as a kneejerk reaction to a close loss.But we didnt lose this game because of quarterback play today. We lost at some other positions, Fisher said, listing the reasons for the four picks, including Tavon Austins two-handed tip on the first pick and two other receivers blown audible adjustments on the final turnover. Ill make changes at receiver before I make a change at quarterback, he said.BYE BYE, WEEK EIGHTBoth teams take their bye-week break next Sunday, a typical concession for teams that make the epic commute to London. Thankfully, neither team left the British capital with any significant new injuries, leaving both with the chance to enter November in maximum good health.The Giants win propels them back into the thick of the competitive NFC East, though still at the bottom with a 4-3 record. Their next three games are at home, starting with the division rival Philadelphia Eagles (4-2).The Rams (3-4) face four winnable games in November, starting at home versus the Carolina Panthers, on the road against the unraveling New York Jets, back in L.A. to face the offense-challenged Miami Dolphins, then away to the New Orleans Saints.---Associated Press reporter Zac Boyer contributed to this story.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
