OK, now we’re having some fun.
The Orioles stunned the Astros for the second straight night, delivering a 13-3 beatdown in Houston to earn consecutive road wins for the first time in nearly two months. A suddenly explosive O’s offense turned a once-tense game into a laugher with nine runs in the final two innings, earning a series win over a team that entered with the best record in the AL.
Those hoping for a faster-paced game than last night’s four-hour, 19-minute marathon — such as this recapper, who wanted to get to bed at a reasonable hour — were in for disappointment when it took nearly an hour to complete the first two innings.
