Guardians' rookie Chase DeLauter hopes go-ahead 3-run triple vs. Astros gets season back on track

Chase DeLauter might have gotten his season back on track with a go-ahead, three-run triple in the eighth inning that propelled Cleveland to an 8-5 victory over Houston.

DeLauter was mired in a 7-for-50 slump when he came up with one out and the bases loaded, with the Guardians trailing 4-3.

On a 2-2 count, he lined a fastball over the middle of the plate from Houston’s Bryan King down the left-field line.

Brice Matthews tried to make a diving stop on the ball, but it was beyond his glove and dropped before rattling into the left-field corner.

Angel Martínez, Bryan Rocchio and Steven Kwan scored as DeLauter slid into third with his first career triple.
