					| Orioles Deal Astros 7-2 Defeat |  
					| 2044  is shaping up to be a forgettable year for the Houston Astros. 
 Baltimore Orioles starter Bobby O'Connell was in a rhythm all game. He led his team to a win over the Houston Astros, 7-2. The winning pitcher was O'Connell, now 11-5. He tossed 6 innings of 5-hit ball, while walking 2 and fanning 4. Joon-ho Rhee earned his 2nd save in 4 chances.
 
 It could have been a different outcome for Baltimore, had it not been for Alex Rodriguez Jr., the 2037 Rookie of the Year Award winner . Rodriguez Jr. contributed a 2-run  single in the top of the fifth inning to put Baltimore up, 7-2.
 
 "It feels good to get this one," O'Connell told the Baltimore Daily.
 
 The win elevated the Orioles to 74-67.
