Garciaparra, Orioles Too Much for Astros
The Baltimore Orioles topped the Houston Astros by the score of 8-3, with the biggest share of the credit going to shortstop Rudo Garciaparra. Garciaparra was 2 for 3 with a home run and 2 walks, while scoring 3 runs and driving in 3 for the Orioles on the day. The slumping Astros have dropped 8 in a row.

Paul Diaz hit a 2-run home run off Salisbury Swanson in the bottom of the fifth, which put the Orioles ahead, 5-3. In addition to the homer, Diaz had 1 double, while going 2 for 4.

"We can always improve and get better, but we're feeling confident after that win," said Diaz.
