Houston Tumbles Again, Falls, 1-0, to Baltimore
In a low-scoring contest between the Baltimore Orioles and the Houston Astros, Jeffrey Springs was the X factor. The Baltimore left-hander spearheaded the 1-0 win. Graham Firoved closed the door for Baltimore, picking up his 10th save of the year. The Astros have now dropped 8 straight.

Baltimore right fielder Cole Carrigg contributed a timely at-bat in the bottom of the fourth. With two down, he hit a fastball to center field for a run-scoring single. It was his 166th hit of the season and put the Orioles ahead, 1-0.

"We've got to kick it in gear soon," said Houston manager James Woolsey.
