​Final Thoughts:
A lot of emotions riding in tonight's game in Houston. But Charlie Morton helped the Astros settle down and continue playing their game in their 6-1 win vs. the Orioles. As for the Orioles, they are going to have to find a better lineup than what they put out there tonight. I'm not sure if Chris Davis can be a consistently good lead-off man for the Orioles.
