Houston Astros Extend Winning Streak with Victory Over Baltimore Orioles

The Houston Astros have been bolstered by strong performances from their pitchers and batters, leading to a series of victories. Ronel Blanco pitched seven effective innings, while Chas McCormick and Yordan Alvarez homered in a 5-1 win against the Baltimore Orioles, extending Houston's winning streak to four games. Hunter Brown has also been a standout, posting a 2.03 ERA over his last six starts, including a six-inning, one-run outing against the Chicago White Sox, earning a 4-1 victory. Backup catcher César Salazar had a pair of RBI singles, contributing significantly in the same game. The Astros' bullpen has also been reliable, with Josh Hader securing multiple saves during these games. Despite injuries and inconsistent performances from veteran pitchers, Houston's young arms continue to keep the team competitive.
