Since being recalled from Triple-A, Astros pitcher Jason Alexander has responded splendidly, pitching 5.1 innings to lead the Astros to another victory against the Orioles at Camden Yards, a game Houston won 7-2, starting as the betting underdog.

The Astros' hitting came early, scoring seven runs in the first three innings. Walker started things off with a two-run homer that brought in Correa; Correa then hit a two-run homer in the second inning, and in the third, Yanier Díaz hit his 18th homer of the season with Jesús Sánchez on board.

For the O's, Brandon Young earned the L for the Orioles; his personal record is now 1-7 and his team's 59-68. Beavers drove in both of the Orioles' runs on Thursday, one of them with a home run. It was a game where the Orioles' top three hitters, Holliday, Jackson, and Henderson, all went 1-for-5.
