Astros Held in Check by Orioles, Lose, 4-1
Baltimore turned a good performance from starting pitcher Luis Tarango into a 4-1 triumph over the Houston Astros at Minute Maid Park. In 5.2 innings, Tarango surrendered 5 hits, while striking out 6 and walking 1. He allowed 1 run. The defeat makes Houston 9-13.

Baltimore used a clutch at-bat from Mike Mirecki to capture the win. The right fielder hammered a 2-run home run in the top of the sixth inning to put the Orioles ahead, 2-0. It was his lone hit in 3 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.

"Watch and learn," said Mirecki. "This is what good pitching looks like."
