A sweep of a good Baltimore club should give the Houston Astros a shot of momentum heading into a quick road trip. Pitching was on point against the Orioles from both the starters and the bullpen, allowing only seven runs for the series.
The offense was powered by home runs, as nine of the eleven runs scored by Houston came via the long ball. It would be nice to see this club eventually not rely on that aspect of the game, but after struggling to put a winning streak together, complaints should be at a minimum.
Houston (20-28) is now nine games back of the Seattle Mariners.
