CLEVELAND -- On paper, the matchup of starting pitchers was one-sided.Marwin Gonzalez tilted it in Houstons favor with one swing.Gonzalez connected for a three-run homer against Corey Kluber in the second inning and the Astros handed Clevelands ace his first loss since July 3 by beating the Indians 4-3 on Tuesday night.After Kluber uncharacteristically walked two batters with two outs in the second, Gonzalez drove a belt-high curveball over the right-field fence to make it 3-0 and the Astros held off a late rally to improve to 13-4 since Aug. 19 and stay within two games in the wild-card race.I was just trying to put the ball in play against one of the best pitchers in the game, said Gonzalez, who added two doubles. But I put a good swing on it.Kluber (15-9) had won his previous seven decisions, a span during which he dominated the way he did while winning the Cy Young Award in 2014. But the right-hander had a bad sequence of six batters against the Astros, who have won the first two of four games between the playoff contenders.Reliever James Hoyt (1-0) struck out two in 1 1/3 innings for his first major league win. The 29-year-old rookie replaced Brad Peacock, who was called up to replace injured Dallas Keuchel and made his first start since April 14, 2015.Carlos Santana homered in the eighth off Luke Gregerson to pull Cleveland within 4-2. The Indians scored an unearned run in the ninth and got the tying run to second before Ken Giles, Houstons fifth reliever, recorded his ninth save.We had to piece it together, but it was a whole team win, manager A.J. Hinch said. Peacock turned in a nice performance, then Hoyt came in and got four big outs. Our pen did a great job against a very good lineup that is very balanced.The Indians, who have led the AL Central for 95 consecutive days, lost for just the second time in eight games.Kluber has been a big reason why the Indians have stayed on top of their division. The unflappable 30-year-old had not lost in over two months, and whenever his team needed a big outing, Kluber delivered. He was 7-0 with a 1.94 ERA in 11 starts since losing to Toronto in July.An atypical run hurt Kluber in the second.After getting two outs, he walked Evan Gattis and Colby Rasmus before quickly getting ahead 0-2 on Gonzalez. Kluber tried to sneak a curveball past the first baseman, but he left it over the plate and Gonzalez belted his 12th homer.You have to take advantage of any and all opportunities against him, Hinch said of Kluber. Marwin had a real good night with the home run, but that inning really got going with the two-out walks. Kluber really settled in after that, so it was important we got to him early.The Indians, who couldnt score on Peacock in the first despite opening with a single and double, got a run back in the second on Tyler Naquins RBI groundout.Houston went ahead 4-1 in the third on Alex Bregmans RBI triple single off Kluber, who settled in and retired 15 of 17 before leaving after seven. He finished with nine strikeouts.WELCOME TO THE SHOWDavid Paulino -- one of the Astros top prospects -- was recalled from Triple-A Fresno and will make his big league debut Thursday. The 6-foot-7 right-hander went 5-4 with a 2.00 ERA in 20 minor league appearances this year.Davids upside is real and were excited about it, Hinch said. We want to see how his stuff plays at this level.TRAINERS ROOMAstros: Hinch said there was nothing new to report on Keuchel, who returned to Houston on Monday because of shoulder inflammation. Hes expected to speak with the media Friday when the Astros begin a three-game series with the Cubs.UP NEXTAstros: RHP Doug Fister looks to bounce back after being tagged for seven runs and 10 hits in 3 2/3 innings against Texas on Sept. 2.Indians: RHP Carlos Carrasco, who struck out 11 and pitched 7 1/3 shutout innings in his last outing, starts for the fifth time in his career against Houston. Carrasco is 2-1 with a 2.05 ERA against the Astros.Mens Air VaporMax 2018 . -- Anaheim Ducks defenceman Luca Sbisa will be out at least six weeks with a torn tendon in his right hand.

Left to score a nominal 468 to win, from a minimum of 118 overs, Notts reached stumps on 42 for 2 on the third day.Hampshire, who went into this round of matches four points behind Nottinghamshire at the bottom of the Division One table, had batted until after tea before declaring on 393 for 7. Jimmy Adams scored 99, Tom Alsop hit 93 and there were half-centuries also for Ryan McLaren and Liam Dawson.Andy Carter, the former Notts seamer who took four wickets in the first innings, then struck with his first delivery of the second, having Jake Libby taken at square leg for 9. Hampshire made another inroad in the final over of the day as Will Smith held a juggling slip catch off Mason Crane to send back Riki Wessels for 11.Mick Newell, Notts director of cricket, said: We need the five points wed get for securing a draw, so we need to show some application tomorrow. Somebody has got to bat a lot of balls and that is going to be crucial. We felt that they would bat for a long time and they did, so theyve given us less time to bat. We hoped to survive that session one wicket down but to lose two is disappointing.Earlier, Adams and Alsop had few alarms in extending their second-wicket partnership to 160 before being separated just before lunch. Adams, whose career-best score of 262 not out came at Trent Bridge in 2006, moved on to 99 but then feathered an attempted pull off Jake Ball through to Chris Read - giving the Enggland seamer his 100th first-class wicket.ddddddddddddDawson led a charmed life as he arrived in the middle. He was bowled by the first ball he faced but was reprieved by a cry of no-ball, was then dropped at midwicket and almost chopped on to his stumps, all from the bowling of Imran Tahir.Alsop had brought up his 50 from 122 balls during his stand with Adams and advanced to his career-best score before falling in the first hour of the middle session.Tahir, who has played for both these sides during spells with five different English counties, picked up two wickets in quick succession. Alsop went lbw and then Adam Wheater drilled a caught-and-bowled straight back to the South Africa international.With Dawson and Ryan McLaren then adding 80 for the fifth wicket, Notts were delighted to make a further strike in the final over of the afternoon session. Dawson had brought up his second fifty of the match from 85 balls but was bowled by Samit Patel for 69. The spinner made it two wickets in two balls as Lewis McManus edged his first ball into the hands of Steven Mullaney at slip.Gareth Berg survived the hat-trick delivery and moved on to 17 before nicking Tahir behind. But McLaren launched three enormous sixes over the midwicket ropes and was unbeaten on 71 when the declaration came.A successful run chase would be Nottinghamshires highest of all-time, surpassing the 461 they achieved against Worcestershire in 2001. More realistically, with 426 still needed, they will have to bat well to secure a draw and avoid dropping below their opponents at the foot of the table. ' ' '
