Orioles Continue Hot Streak with Extra-Inning Win
The Houston Astros could not turn a fine performance from pitcher Misael Tamarez into a win. Instead, the Baltimore Orioles prevailed, 6-4, in 11 innings. Tamarez threw 5.0 innings of 4-hit ball. Felix Bautista picked up the win in relief, improving his record to 3-11. Bryan Abreu, who led the AL in saves with 48 in 2025, was tagged with the loss. The losing skid has reached 7 games for Houston.

Baltimore got a clutch hit from Gavin Lux. The shortstop launched a 2-run home run in the bottom of the 11th inning to win the game. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a kill shot.

"No one likes losing," said Houston manager James Woolsey. "But we'll turn this thing around."
