The Baltimore Orioles picked up a win at Minute Maid Park, downing the Houston Astros, 5-3. On the mound for Baltimore was right-hander Kevin Tapani, who played a pivotal role in the win. The save was credited to Jonny Venters, his 28th. The Baltimore win streak is now 3 games.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Jerry Gil? The Baltimore second baseman had a run-scoring single in the top of the sixth inning to put the Orioles on top, 4-3. For the game, Gil had 1 double and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"Win or lose, we pick each other up in this clubhouse," Tapani told the Baltimore Observer.
