Big Day for Rutschman in 8-3 Orioles Win
The Baltimore Orioles topped the Houston Astros, 8-3, in American League action at Oriole Park at Camden Yards. The game was highlighted by the performance of Baltimore catcher Adley Rutschman.

With Baltimore leading 2-1 in the bottom of the second, Rutschman hit a changeup from Framber Valdez for a 2-run double. It was his 4th double of the season and put the Orioles ahead, 4-1.

Rutschman told a Baltimore Daily reporter that he was "gratified" with the win.
