Orioles flock the Astros late

The Houston Astros are currently 2-4 in their last six games and have lost two heartbreaking games against the Baltimore Orioles. Moreover, the Astros split the series against the O’s at Oriole Park in Camden Yards.

Full Seam Ahead hosts Lorenzo Delgado and Angel Cantu briefly recap the Red Sox series and fully break down the Orioles series. The Astros’ offense scored early on in all four games against the O’s. Welcome to the Astros, Ben Gamel. The veteran lefty is currently 5-for-9 with a double in the three games he has started. The ‘Stros starting pitching continues to dominate on the rubber as Spencer Arrighetti, Hunter Brown, and Framber Valdez has made it difficult for the Orioles’ lineup to produce.

Two close games

The Astros have lost two back-to-back games in heartbreaking fashion. Reliever Bryan Abreu couldn’t hold the lead as the Orioles slugger Anthony Santander smoked a 2-1 grand slam to the stands in right to give the O’s a 6-5 lead, Friday night. Astros first baseman Jon Singleton couldn’t charge a Colton Cowser ground ball to first. Jackson Holliday, the Orioles top prospect, comes in to pinch-hit for Emmanuel Rivera and clears the bases with a three-run double. What could’ve helped the Astros in both games? If you were in Abreu and Singleton’s shoes, what would you have done? Cantu and Delgado debate on the two crucial plays.

Hector Neris is back

2022 World Series champion Hector Neris returns to the Astros. Neris was designated for assignment by the Chicago Cubs, cleared waivers, and later signed with the Astros. In 46 appearances, Neris has a 3.89 ERA with 17 saves. Can he be beneficial in the Astros bullpen? The guys can’t forget the Carne Asada as they highlight the players of the series. Let’s head to The Train Station and get the latest updated injury report for Yordan Alvarez, Kyle Tucker, Ryan Pressly, and Penn Murfee. The guys go Around The Horn as an AL West rival dismissed their manager.
