Orioles vs. Astros Game Highlights (6/23/24) | MLB Highlights

Getting ready for this Sunday finale to the three game set. We mentioned they've only been swept once since Adley Rusman was a major leaguer. Kind of a new look for proper all the way around. We've got the treads going and we also have the white jersey. Normally he's out there pitching with that navy blue. So today they face Framber Valdez and actually the last two years they hit him well , 13 runs against him in like 12 and a third. That ball smoked to center and Santander was all over it smothering a sinker into center and he's the Orioles first base runner with a two out single guns. Now reached base 29 consecutive games. The last Oriole to reach in 30 straight was Dick Marcus. That's been 15 years since an on base streak this long for an Oriole and Henderson takes again. So Gunnar Henderson reaches base for 1/30 consecutive game called third strike bottom of the zone. Bromberg picks up two strikeouts in the inning and strand two. Albert Suarez his 16th game and ninth start as an Oriole coming off his worst start three and two thirds, three runs against the Yankees but he's been otherwise very consistent. Just one home run allowed in 48 and a third innings this year. Here we go. First pitch he puts for a home run. Altuve's third leadoff home run of the season didn't waste any time. Only the second home run allowed by Suarez Captain Ambush got him and absolutely stepped on it 420 seven and Bregman hits it the other way down the right field line slicing. Will it stay fair? It sure will. And he'll bound all the way to the wall in the corner. Bregman on his way to second base and he'll stop there with a double so two batters face for Suarez and two extra base hits Yr Diaz getting a DH D Today hits the ball sharply towards the hole through the hole in the left field. Bregman is going to score Astros take an early 20 lead. Janer Diaz drives in run number 35 on the year. He's at first one out and out. Jeremy Pena's turn 10 and Pena rifles this one deep to left center field racing over his Hayes. It gets past him and one hops off the fence in front of the visitor's bullpen. Diaz Terrick for third. He's around third, no throw the plate three as and this has happened very quickly. First pitch home run. Altuve second pitched double Bregman, fourth pitch, single Diaz second pitch double by Pena and now Mauricio Dubon, there is another base hit. Fifth hit in the inning. Pena will score easily. Jeremy speed flying around the bases four nothing on the RB I by Maurice. The hits just keep on coming fifth hit of the first inning as the Astros lead four to 012 delivery. A curveball hit on the left side over to make the play and a long throw it pull the first baseman off the bag into the count to Jeremy that's hit sharply past the in the left Astros have their eighth hit of the game for the Astros. He's bunting here been out quickly is going to make the play to first. So Mauricio will sacrifice Diaz and Jeremy pain in the scoring position. Strike three and a high fastball. Lofi goes down swinging to two out mccormick. He scores to but pops it up and Suarez makes the catch that could have gotten dangerous are Then back to the top of the order out to get a third at bat here in the fourth inning. Salazar into right field coming on. Santander will play it on a hop. That's how Salazar is four for six this season. That's hit hard fair ball into the corner. Salazar on the move to third base. Gary Pettit will hold him up there. Alex Bregman has his second double of the game. He has been on base all three times with him hitting that double. It sets up. Jordan Alvarez being intentionally walked to load things up for crowd doesn't like it, but it's hard to blame in high and hits this one into center field. Kauser comes in a step or two. Tagging is Salazar. He's going to come home to throw is off line and the Astros add to their lead fly by Janer Diaz makes it a 5 to 0 game and that's popped up. Curveball has been effective for Suarez. He gets the third out on it. Astros Strand two though they do score one. So Colt with a base hit now back to the top of the order for Adley Rusman to short could be too. Broer will not get out of the inning as Altuve has to go back to the bag to get the force out. Pena's flip a little too high so the Astros should have been out of the inning, but it was not a smooth transition there for the fielder's choice. See, ryan MCAST can take advantage of it and he can right field base hit. That's the other way for out Castle's second, opposite field hit that sends Rutman to second. Can't assume a double play, but that's one you would like the Astros to have turned, especially against the team that leads major league baseball and runs per game. Not turn that double play forces roman to throw some high leverage pitches here, even with a five run lead tapper up the middle. Altuve will get to the bag ahead run and throw to first just for fun. That will do it for the Orioles two left on. We are halfway home in a 50 game. Orioles had open action going the last two innings with Dylan Tate for now, Brandon Hyde staying with his starting pitcher right side and a catch by Mount Castle on a line drive from Salazar. He just saved Suarez and the Orioles a run 21 consecutive games. Now for the Os with a home run after Jordan Westberg went deep in the second inning yesterday, Westbrook powers one to left and for the second straight game, Jordan Westburg hits a home run into the Crawford boxes homer yesterday struck out the next five times and Then he homered again. West. He's got the power going here in Houston and he gets the Orioles on the board and he extends the longest streak in franchise history 22 consecutive games. The Orioles with a home run to two hit sharply bounces high off the mound sliding stop by the second baseman Westbrook into the outfield grass but won't bother to make a throw another base hit this one into left field. Jr is three for 33 hit games for Bregman and Diaz, they're on base and the guy at the plate has a chance to join them with a three hit day and try to drive in a run. Jeremy Pena is two for three today. Hits this ball pretty well to left field. Austin Hayes back at the track, he can't get there. It's off the wall. Two runs are gonna score Bregman and Diaz scored two RBIs for Jeremy Pena and the Astros pick up two more runs and 7 to 1. Robert trying to go seven innings again today. He's done that twice this month. AC G in Anaheim against the Angels where he only allowed one run to short Pena should have this play. No problem to get through 71 hit , one left on outstanding seven innings of one run. Baseball today against the Orioles left hander, Brian King is making his big league debut for the Astros the two and that is strike three call on the outside corner. First big league strike out for Brian King. They'll toss that baseball to the Astros dugout. There's Bregman three for 32 doubles a walk and two runs scored first pitch and Bregman laces this one in the center field for a base hit Altuve goes to second and Alex Bregman has himself a four hit game. Jr Diaz and Alex Bregman a combined seven for seven today. This one could be deep enough to score the run. Santan they back, Tuve will tag , he'll score easily. Jr has done it again. Another sack fly perfect day for jr three for 32. Sac flies 8 to 1 Astros see another major league debut right here with Luis Contreras out of Venezuela. He's pretty special luis Contreras in his big league debut. Could start the handshake line here as part of a sweep of the Baltimore Orioles that has popped up. Alex Bregman Drifts back a few steps and the Houston Astros have swept the Baltimore Orioles in their best series of the season today. The final score 8 to 1.
