Evan Gattis hit a two-run homer and Luis Valbuena had a tiebreaking solo shot in the sixth inning that gave the Houston Astros a 4-3 win over the Baltimore Orioles on Wednesday night. Baltimore tied the score 3-3 with a two-run sixth, and Valbuena homered for the second straight day with an opposite-field drive, two-out to left-center field off Tyler Wilson (2-3). Gattis has four homers and six RBIs in eight games since his return from Double-A Corpus Christi, where he went to prepare to play catcher in Houston after not working behind the plate since 2014.
