The Baltimore Orioles got a sterling performance from pitcher Tristan Dailey, but the Houston Astros still prevailed, 5-1. Dailey threw 6.2 innings of shutout ball. Earning his 13th save of the year was Jesús Mejía. The victory puts Houston at 50-78.

Steve McGuire came through with a big-time hit for Houston. The third baseman smacked a grand slam home run in the top of the ninth inning to give his team the lead, 5-1. It was his only hit, but it was clutch.

McGuire said his team "played with a purpose."
