The Baltimore Orioles hope they proved their point last night against Houston. With all the talk about the bats being inconsistent, they broke out in a big way. If anything, the Orioles probably piled on Houston a bit much. Now with that said, they certainly weren’t trying to manufacture runs late – Houston was just surrendering homers left and right.
Kevin Gausman almost gave the Orioles seven strong innings. Gausman’s line: 6.2 IP, 7 H, 5 R, 1 BB, 8 K. Now granted Gausman surrendered five runs, but three of those came in the form of homers.
