Who’s this old ****er that’s pitching for the Astros 

[Chavez Ravine]

Rutschman got the classic Verlander.

O'Hearn with the double!

I'm looking for Kate Upton in the crowd.

O'hearn just keeps on hitting.

[Chavez Ravine]

Yikes, Mullins.

Mullins really needs to get it going. Other than his GS, he's been quiet.

Decent # of O's fans here but not near as many as I heard when we were in Arizona last month. Hard to tell looking at stands because Astros ripped off Orioles orange. 

Way to start John...

Shallow popup at Camden Yards.

Would have been an out at OPACY.

Thank you Astros fan!

Fan interference. He's out.

[Moose Milligan]

Hope Westy is getting some good advice from Altuve.

A Jeffrey Meier in every park.
