The Baltimore Orioles are still right there not even a week worth of Games off of the AL East leading Blue Birds of Toronto. The O's took care of the "'Stros Show" in Minute Maid Park on Saturday night behind a solid effort from Starter Chris Tillman.

Tillman was in command all night long giving up just one run on four hits in 6 2/3 innings walking two and striking out three. The O's Offense was supplied in large part by O's 2014 Free Agent Acquisition Nelson Cruz. He delivered a Sac-Fly in the top of the 1st scoring Nick Markakis. Then with the O's leading 3-1 scoring two runs in the 5th Cruz takes 'Stros Middle Man Jerome Williams for a Solo Blast as that is Nelson's MLB Leading 20th of 2014 as we hit June Hardball.

'Stros Starter Dallas Keuchel allowed three runs in six innings walking three and striking out three. He also gave up six hits as he falls to 6-3. The O's move to .500 again at 27-27 as the 'Stros fall to 24-33 as they slowly work their way up the AL West Ladder.
