Green tea, long morning walks and calming thoughts at breakfast seem to have helped the Guardians. After a 10-game losing streak, they just completed a three-game sweep of the AL West-leading Astros.

José Ramírez homered for a third straight game, Angel Martínez also went deep and the Cleveland Guardians got a 4-2 win over the Houston Astros on Wednesday night to complete a three-game sweep.

Angel Martinez and Jose Ramirez hit back-to-back home runs in the first inning in support of right-hander Slade Cecconi, who recorded a career-high nine strikeouts to lead the Cleveland Guardians to a 4-2 win over the host Houston Astros on Wednesday and a three-game series sweep.

A couple hours after telling reporters on Wednesday that he was withdrawing from his starting gig at third base for the American League All-Stars because of a sore right ankle, Ramirez led the Guardians to a three-game sweep of the Astros with a 4-2 win at Daikin Park.

Slade Cecconi has been one of the biggest bright spots of the entire Cleveland Guardians season, and the pitcher continues to get better and better with each start. Cecconi continued his strong season on Wednesday evening with a dominant start in Cleveland's 4-2 win over the Houston Astros.

Houston finished 2-for-21 with runners in scoring position as the Astros lost a second consecutive game to Cleveland.
