But the Houston Astros wouldn&#8217;t quit against Mike Cuellar and the Baltimore Orioles. Cuellar had allowed 9 hits entering the 6th, but hit Denis Menke with a pitch and allowed a single to Alan Ashby before being replaced by Stu Miller. Miller allowed two runners to score before getting out of the inning, and Richard Hidalgo added a solo shot to give Houston the lead. Larry Andersen, Octavio Dotel, and Billy Wagner combined to allow just 1 hit over the final 2 2\/3 innings to quiet the Orioles. Wagner picked up the save as the Astros came out on top 7-5. Five different Astros hitters were 2 for 4. Houston will face Cleveland tomorrow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/baseballmaelstrom.com\/?sp_event=baltimore-houston\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Baltimore @ Houston &#8211; 10\/3\/23<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mike Scott wasn&#8217;t sharp, allowing a solo home run to Roberto Alomar to lead off the game, and another to Frank Robinson two innings later en route to 5 earned runs over 6 1\/3 innings.
