Starting pitcher Lachlan Madden pitched well enough to help the Houston Astros beat the Baltimore Orioles, 5-4. The winner was Madden. He threw 6.0 innings allowing 4 runs. The loser was Carlos Rodon. The defeat makes Baltimore 62-61.

The Astros benefited from an error in the bottom of the fourth inning. Houston was leading 2-0 when Jeff Lowery hit a 2-run single that was misplayed. It put Houston in front, 4-0.

"It's so much easier when you throw good pitches," said Madden.
