Baltimore Orioles (36-31) 5 0 3 1 0 1 0 0 2 12 12 1
Houston Astros (21-46) 0 3 1 0 0 5 0 0 0 9 15 0
Great Effort by Polanco Wasted in 12-9 Astros Loss
The Baltimore Orioles overcame a good performance by Houston shortstop Jorge Polanco to knock off Houston, 12-9, at Minute Maid Park. Polanco hit 2 home runs. He scored 3 times and drove in 5. Carlos Estevez got credit for the win, improving to 4-1. He allowed 2 runs on 4 hits in 2 innings. Pedro Strop converted his 3rd save in 4 tries.

Baltimore used the timely hitting of A.J. Ellis to capture the win. The catcher stroked a bases-clearing double in the top of the third inning to put the Orioles on top, 8-3. It was his only hit in 5 at-bats, but he made it count.

"Getting a lot of baserunners and getting some timely hits, it's a good combination," said Ellis.

Baltimore is now 36-31, 2 games up in the American League East Division.
