The Astros continued their June offensive against any AL team that dares oppose them by crushing the Baltimore Orioles at Camden Yard. They amassed 10 runs on 13 hits and eight walks. It was their eighth straight win and 17th out of the last 21. The win gave the Astros sole possession of first place in the AL West.
Meanwhile, Jake Odorizzi shut down the O’s with five scoreless, hitless innings, followed by two more by Cristian Javier. Odorizzi amassed nine k’s and the win in his five-inning stint.
After a slow start with the Astros, Odorizzi appears to be rounding into shape and settling into his assigned role near the top of the Astros rotation.
