LOSS

Houston can't wait for this brutal road stretch to be over, playing its ninth road game in the last 11 contests. And this is only the second road game of a seven-game trip! The road travel is taking its toll, riding a five-game skid getting outscored 42-16. The Astros are 57-116 away against a team with a winning record, plus 42-86 on the road vs. a left-handed starter. Houston starter Collin McHugh (7-10, 4.70 ERA) is no stopper, especially on the road with a 5.23 ERA and a 3-6 record. Teams hit .306 off him away from home. He faces a powerhouse Baltimore offense that is ninth in runs, and third in slugging. The Orioles slugged six homers in the series opener, 13-5, as Chris Davis and J.J. Hardy each went deep twice. Baltimore leads baseball with 183 homers. Orioles' lefty Wade Miley is 2-1 with a 2.70 ERA in six career games versus the Astros. Baltimore is on a 45-19 run at home, including 39-14 at home against a right-handed starter, and the Astros on a 3-13 run at Camden Yards. Play Baltimore.
