Astros 5, Orioles 2: Oberholtzer's Return To Rotation Ends With A Comeback Win

Obie looked good in his second return from the DL. Bullpen looked even better.

What Happened

Brett Oberholtzer returned from the DL for the second time this season after having issues with a blister on his finger. This time hopefully he is back for good. A lot of fans were hoping for a breakout year from Obie, and this was definitely a good start. He went 5 1/3 innings allowing 7 hits and 2 runs, and he threw 59 of his 82 pitches for strikes.

Baltimore scored first on a walk and a triple in the fifth inning, but Oberholtzer got one of his three strikeouts and a groundout to end the threat.
