Friday was a horror night for the Astros’ offense. Just for the third time since June 18, the Astros were shut out, this time to open the series against the Orioles. One mistake was all it took as a two-run shot by Ramón Urías accounted for the two runs of the game. Entering this game, Houston had won four games in a row, but lost this one with a 2-0 score.
The Astros registered only four hits in the contest (all singles) and were silenced by righty Kyle Bradish, making his 16th big-league start. Bradish went eight scoreless innings and struck out six.
