HOUSTON (AP) \u2014 Rookie Travis Bazzana<\/a> set career highs with four hits, two homers, five RBIs and three runs scored Saturday night, and the Cleveland Guardians<\/a> beat the Houston Astros<\/a> 8-1.<\/p>\n

Kyle Manzardo<\/a> hit a two-run homer in the third inning to break a 1-1 tie, and tacked on an RBI single in the seventh.<\/p>\n

Bazzana took Spencer Arrighetti<\/a> deep on the first pitch of the game for his second leadoff homer, singled in the third inning and then hit a three-run homer off Arrighetti in the fifth. Bazzana added an RBI single in the seventh.<\/p>\n

The first overall pick in the 2024 draft, who made his Major League debut April 28, is the second Guardians\u2019 rookie to record a four-hit game and a two-homer game this season. Chase DeLauter<\/a> hit two home runs at Seattle on March 26 and had four hits against the Athletics<\/a> on May 1.<\/p>\n

Patrick Bailey<\/a> added three hits and two runs scored for the Guardians.<\/p>\n

Joey Cantillo<\/a> (6-3) pitched a career-high tying eight innings and allowed one run and four hits while matching a season high with nine strikeouts. The 26-year-old left-hander gave up one hit after the second inning.<\/p>\n

Arrighetti (7-3) allowed a season-high six runs and six hits over six innings with eight strikeouts. He has a 6.95 ERA over his last four starts after posting a 1.34 ERA in his first eight starts this season.<\/p>\n

Houston\u2019s Yordan Alvarez<\/a> went 0 for 3 and his on-base streak ended at 25 games.<\/p>\n

Up next<\/p>\n

Astros RHP Kai-Wei Teng<\/a> (3-6, 4.31 ERA) faces Guardians RHP Slade Cecconi<\/a> (3-5, 4.60) when the series concludes on Sunday.<\/p>\n
