After a historic stretch of futility earlier this week, the Astros have scored 17 runs in taking the first two games of their series at Baltimore.

Jeremy Peña and Christian Walker each hit a three-run homer, and the Houston Astros outslugged the Baltimore Orioles 10-7.

Tonight, the Astros grasped for runs like a drowning man gasps for his last breath of air. The seven runs they scored in the first three innings equalled their total production in the last six games combined. The Astros are still alive with a beating heart, after all.
