Back and Forth
The Orioles and Astros traded leads three times Tuesday night, with the Orioles scoring the last three runs for a 6-5 win over the Astros. The game was probably a bit closer than it should have been as the Orioles out-hit the Astros 12-8, out doubling them 4-1 and out homering Houston 2-1. The Orioles, however, were just 2 for 12 with runners in scoring position.

Valverde blew the save after coming in with one out in the eighth. I don't mean to pick on Valverde, but his 3.78 ERA and 1.35 WHIP really aren't that great for a closer.
He seemed to be improving after a terrible start this season, but tonight he just pitched dumb. One fastball after another until Mora finally timed one for the gamewinner.
