HOUSTON — The Indians have needed someone to step up with ace Corey Kluber on the disabled list with a back problem.

Mike Clevinger filled that role Saturday, pitching no-hit ball into the seventh inning before Andrew Miller and Cody Allen completed a three-hitter for a 3-0 victory over the Astros.

“I just thought he was terrific,” manager Terry Francona said. “They present so many challenges as a lineup, and he continued to make pitches. You see a young pitcher come up and do something like that, it makes that

Indians: Mike Clevinger pitched no-hit ball into the seventh before Andrew Miller and Cody Allen completed a threehitter for a 3-0 victory over the Astros. Clevinger yielded two hits and struck out a career-high eight in seven-plus innings, the longest outing of his career. The Astros didn’t get their first hit until Jose Altuve singled sharply down the left-field line with no out in the seventh.

Rays: Corey Dickerson homered twice and the Rays won their season-high fourth in a row, beating the Yankees 9-5. Rays starter Matt Andriese hit Matt Holliday after giving up a home run to Gary Sanchez. Then Yanks reliever Tommy Layne plunked glass look a lot more half full.”

Clevinger (2-1) yielded two hits and struck out a career-high eight in seven-plus innings, the longest outing of his career.

“This is the Cleveland Indians making a statement,” he said. “We might have hit a little lull, but we’re a good ball team and we’re a team to still look out for.”

The Astros didn’t get their first hit until Jose Altuve singled sharply down the left-field line with no out in the seventh inning.

“He had a day where he was on, and we couldn’t figure him out,” the Astros’ Josh Reddick said.

Clevinger was lifted after Evan Dickerson, who had homered twice off Masahiro Tanaka. Andriese (4-1) later hit Aaron Judge and was thrown out.

Mets: Jose Reyes’ three hits included the 2,000th of his career in a 7-5 victory over the Angels. Terry Collins became the longest-tenured manager in team history, passing Davey Johnson (1984-90) by reaching 1,013 games with the Mets.

Reds: Scott Schebler’s home run completed a comeback from a five-run deficit and the Reds ended a seven-game losing streak with a 12-8 victory over the Rockies. Asher Wojciechowski, called up before the game, gave up one hit in 32⁄3 innings for his first major-league win. Gattis singled with no out in the eighth. Miller struck out two in the eighth before Allen allowed one hit in the ninth to convert his 12th save in as many opportunities and give him 21 straight dating to Aug. 18.

Clevinger, who had thrown one-third of an inning in relief Tuesday, hadn’t pitched longer than 52⁄3 innings before Saturday.

Lonnie Chisenhall homered off Mike Fiers with two out in the fourth to make it 2-0. Fiers has given up a major-league-high 17 home runs in eight starts this season. He allowed six hits and two runs, one earned, in six innings.

Athletics: Chad Pinder slugged a 460-foot home run, Khris Davis hit a two-run shot and Mark Canha and Jed Lowrie delivered solo homers to help defeat the Red Sox 8-3. Hanley Ramirez homered for the Red Sox, who have lost three in a row.

Astros: LHP Dallas Keuchel (7-0) is headed to the DL for the first time in his career with a pinched nerve in his neck. The 2015 AL Cy Young Award winner has a 1.84 ERA and has held hitters to a .186 average. The Astros expect Keuchel to miss only one start. RHP Brad Peacock (2-0, 1.10) will move out of the bullpen to start Monday against the Tigers, and LHP Ashur Tolliver was recalled. 1943: In the fastest nine-inning night game in American League history, the White Sox beat the Washington Senators 1-0, in 1 hour, 29 minutes. 1997: Roger Clemens earned his 200th career victory, leading the Blue Jays to a 4-1 win over the Yankees. 2000: For the first time in baseball history, there were six grand slams in a single day. The Angels’ Garret Anderson hit the record-breaker off the Royals’ Chris Fussell. The Giants’ J.T. Snow, The Phillies’ Brian Hunter , The Athletics’ Jason Giambi, and the Dodgers’ Adrian Beltre and Shawn Green connected with the bases loaded before Anderson. The previous mark of five was set in 1999.
