Astros Stumble, Lose to Orioles
Baltimore beat Houston in a rain-soaked ballgame.

The Baltimore Orioles topped the Houston Astros by the score of 10-4, with the biggest share of the credit going to shortstop Livan Soto.

He pitched 5 innings, giving up 6 hits and 4 runs, while striking out 4 and walking 2.

In the bottom of the first inning, third baseman Gunnar Henderson came through big-time for the Orioles. With Baltimore trailing 3-0, he belted a 3-run home run.

"We've got a great group of guys," Henderson said, "and we're having fun right now."

The 'W' lifts Baltimore's record to 78-51.
