Santander pops out to the shortstop Dupont. So now Gunner, Henderson Anderson with a base hit into right center, it will roll to the wall. Gunner didn't get off the fastball. He rarely does. He's a very, very good fastball hitter and he left one up. That's where he's going to get in trouble with this Orioles team. He's gonna have to learn how to keep the ball above that zone and below that zone. But if you leave it right there to Gunnar Henderson, you're gonna have a hard time. Oh'd lifts it to right gl, under it. Anderson stranded Orioles retired. Ben gl blamed on waivers from the Mets on Tuesday. His first at bat as a member of the Astros gel strikes out on the burns curveball and he has got his first k of the game rush been leading off for the Orioles the bottom of the second inning 1 to 1 and Rutman pops it up first base side over toward the line. Goes Whitcomb a step into the outfield makes the catch. Victor Caratti got hit with the bat on the back swing of Rutman seems to be ok. He answered the questions correctly. So Caratti will continue one out nobody on for first baseman ryan Mount Castle. Now Castle throws one to the gap and left center on his way to second and he is in, went with the cutter. He left it up a little bit. That's all it was. Gets it out away from him but he just leaves it up. Second base hit for the Orioles , both doubles. Matt Castle a one out double now takes his lead off third and Mullins pops it up, third base side foul ground Whitcomb has a play to retire the side. So Mullins pops out the Orioles Strander runner at third six up , six down over the first two innings. Burns only seven pitches in the first and Then 12 in the second. Burns missing inside ball four. So the Astros with their first base runner, Patterson the second for one out to first. The Orioles turn two bases empty for mauricio Dupont. Here comes and it's strike three called right over the heart of the plate. Second strike out for Corbin Burns. Corbin Burns has faced the minimum nine batters over the first three innings an eight pitch at bat. Altuve draws a leadoff walk. That's his second throw over to first there. So we'll see if Altuve takes off or burns takes another shot and altuve will be awarded second base Alvarez with home runs in each of burns. Previous two starts against the Astros. You want a base hit into right field. Here comes altuve heading home, cut off and the Astros take a 10 lead on their first base hit of the game. The story of chess matches this inning, the bat back and forth. Altuve to start it off and he gets on first picks off three times, steals the base and now leaves the cutter in the middle of the plate does not miss it through the hole. They continue to threaten here in the fourth inning Astros with runners on the corners. Ben Gamble with an opportunity to put his brand new team into a bigger lead here in the fourth inning in his second at bat one for burns up the middle base. Hit the Astros now lead 2 to 0. So Ben Gl drives in a run in his first game as an Astro to not have an RB I all season in 18 games as a member of the New York Mets, the one on my Mullins moving to his right. The Astros score twice. Here's popped out to third, his first at bat, fly ball short center field Myers coming hard. He won't get there a Rutman dunks one in for a base hit seventh pitch of the at bat and he wins the battle and he picks up his third strike out of the ball game and strain another baserunner Cedric Mullins to start off the bottom of the fifth against Ariti. So you got a miss, got him on the curveball down and in to the back foot of Mullins. And that is the fourth strikeout for Eric Kaler down on strikes for the third time tonight and he has his 1st 123 innings of the ball game. Houston scoring both of their runs in the fourth inning. Three base hits for the Astros all coming in the fourth off Corbin Burns. He faced the minimum in the other four innings, 11 for Burns and Bregman with a leadoff single here in the sixth leadoff man has reached three of the last four innings for the Astros against Burns. Here's Alvarez RB I single in the fourth one for two. Burns delivers the 31. What a play by Bob Castle to second. Safe at first. Here's Alvarez tough on those choppers. You got to make sure a one right here a little slow on that, on that throwback over to first, but they made sure a one until gunner didn't think he really had a chance there. So now two away runners on the corners g at the plate drove in a run back in the fourth inning. His first hit his first run batted in as an astro payoff pitch from burns and hit and run batted in his second hit his second RB I today in his Astros debut, Houston extends to a 3 to 0 advantage. You'll make some friends pretty fast if you get two RBS and two hits against Corbin Burns. This pitch actually was on the corner and it was just a good piece of hitting. So runners at 1st and 3rd, still two down. And here's Jake myers Myers in the dirt comes home with the fourth Houston run gavel to third Myers to second burns got there as quick as he could and Then wound up and threw a fastball on one hop that Mount Castle couldn't get to it. Skipped down the right field line, scored a base hit and Then an E one on the throw from Corbin Burns got these runs with two outs. He gets a pitcher of this caliber. This is huge gamble at third myers at second and that is lined in the center field, a base hit for Shay Whitcomb that will score two as gambles and myers come home a two run single for Shay Whitcomb and the Astros lead is now six to nothing Whitcomb with his first big league RBI S. This is going to be a game and Corman looks back at as a game of what if, what if I'd have made this pitch or that pitch? The Astros are find the holes first game on the road as a major leaguer and Wickham off of a former Cy Young award winner knocks him out of the ball game and that did not feel like a six run performance. They just kind of, they just played baseball man. They found a way to do it and now it's Matt Bowman just added to the roster today to face Dub-n bounces one to short gunner has it throws to first and there's that third out. The Orioles are trying to get Astros score four runs with two down Astros with a 60 lead in Baltimore bottom of the 6th 32 curveball strike three called on the outside corner. Henderson had taken a couple of steps to first shaking his head as he walks to the first base dugout six strikeout for eric Eric delivers and that's hit a mile high left side of the infield Whitcomb on the back rim of the infield dirt waiting for it makes the two handed grab and it's a 123 inning for Spencer Arrietty who's retired the last eight in a row, 60 Astros lead in Baltimore bottom of the ninth , Ferguson and try to get the final three outs. The Orioles held to three base hits. If they do not pick up another base hit, this would match their season low, only three base hits and they have not scored. The Orioles are now down to their final out. They have turned things around and hope to be playing deep into October but tonight they fall to the Astros for the second day in a row. The Orioles manage just three hits nine straight wins on the road for the Astros six to zero. The final score.
