O's offense shut down after big 2nd inning

After Wright (2-1) escaped a bases-loaded jam in the second, the Astros batted around in the third, scoring five runs on six hits to take a one-run lead. Gattis followed Preston Tucker's RBI single with his 12th homer, a three-run shot that tied the score, and Valbuena homered to right two pitches later.

MOMENTS THAT MATTERED
McHugh rebounds: McHugh teetered on the brink of disaster in the second inning, when he gave up four runs and five hits, including a two-run triple by Flaherty, before righting the ship. He held the O's hitless over his final five innings.
