Astros Lose to Orioles in Walk-Off
The Baltimore Orioles picked up a win at Oriole Park at Camden Yards, knocking off the Houston Astros, 5-1. Starting pitcher Chris Bassitt was a big reason why. The win belonged to Phil Maton in relief. His record improves to 1-2. Jhoan Duran took the loss for Houston. Baltimore now sits at 56-60, while Houston falls to 61-57.

Baltimore got a knockout punch from Blaine Crim. The pinch hitter hammered a grand slam home run in the bottom of the ninth inning to win the game. It might've been his only hit, but it decided the outcome.

"Getting ahead of the hitters was the key," said Bassitt.
