Feldman finds success with grounders vs. O's

BALTIMORE -- Astros starter Scott Feldman was good enough on Tuesday night to wriggle his way out of almost every jam he found himself in during his six-inning outing in a 4-1 win over the Orioles, but getting three double plays in the first three innings set the tone.

Feldman, a ground-ball pitcher, got Adam Jones (first inning), Delmon Young (second) and Manny Machado (third) to ground into inning-ending double plays. He also allowed the leadoff runner on base in the fourth and sixth and wound up giving up one run on a Chris Davis sac fly in the sixth at Oriole Park at Camden Yards.
