Houston and Baltimore duked it out at Oriole Park at Camden Yards and the Astros came out victorious.

The Houston Astros knocked off the Baltimore Orioles, 5-2, at Oriole Park at Camden Yards. Xander Bogaerts, who captured player of the game honors, was a big reason Houston won. The shortstop went 3 for 4 with a home run, 2 singles, and was hit by a pitch, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once. Blake Snell was the winning pitcher. Over 6 innings, he allowed 1 run on 4 hits, with 3 walks and 2 strikeouts. Tony Zych earned his 17th save in 22 chances.

Bogaerts contributed a big hit, a 2-run home run, for Houston in the top of the third. With his team trailing 1-0, Bogaerts took a curveball from Lucas Sims and stroked the home run to right. His 18th home run of the season allowed the Astros to leap in front, 2-1.

"We'll pop the top on a cold one and get back to work tomorrow," Bogaerts said.

The third-place Astros lifted their record to 76-84.
