Todd Zeile left his imprint on the 14-3 Baltimore win against the Houston Astros. Zeile, who is a four-time All-Star, went 4-5 with a home run and 2 doubles, while scoring 3 times. Baltimore leads the American League East Division by 2½ games.

Matt Stairs had a big 3-run home run for the Orioles in the bottom of the first inning. With Baltimore trailing 1-0 and runners on 1st and 2nd, he sized up a curveball from 23-year old right-handed pitcher Ken Cloude and punished it. The result was his 13th home run of the season, which put the Orioles on top, 3-1.

"We were able to get some things going offensively," said Stairs.
