The Houston Astros are smoking hot, coming off nine straight wins and they've failed to cover the runline only once during that stretch. The team has won seven of right-hander Jose Urquidy's (5-3, 3.65 ERA) last eight starts. The Orioles hand the ball to Thomas Eshelman (0-0, 1.93 ERA) for just his second start of the season. He struggled in Triple-A before getting called up, posting a 6.41 ERA.
