Die Anpflanzler [DA] » allowed two runs over six innings

BALTIMORE -- It was one of those rare days when everything went right for the Houston Astros. Houston took an early lead and added to it late. The starting pitching was solid. The bullpen was nearly perfect. The result was a 5-2 victory over the Baltimore Orioles on Sunday that enabled the young Astros to avert a three-game sweep. "Overall, a good team win," manager Bo Porter said. Jason Castro and Marc Krauss homered to account for all of Houstons offence, and Jarred Cosart (2-3) allowed two runs over six innings for the Astros, who had lost seven of eight before ending Baltimores five-game winning streak. Castro hit a three-run homer off Chris Tillman (3-2) in the first inning, and the Astros made the advantage stand up. "When we can come out and score early, thats really when were at our best," Castro said. "It kind of gives some of the young staff a little bit of a breather from the beginning." It was 3-2 before Krauss connected against T.J. McFarland with a runner on in the seventh. "Those are the runs we have not been able to get," Porter said. "Those tack-on runs that give you an extra cushion, make it a three-run lead instead of a one-run lead. That was a huge home run." Houston is 11-11 when it hits a home run and 1-15 when it doesnt. Although the Astros bullpen came in with a 6.21 ERA, Tony Sipp struck out five in two perfect innings and Chad Qualls worked a hitless ninth for his second save. "I have confidence no matter who they put in behind me that they can get the job done," Cosart said. Jose Altuve had three hits for the Astros, who improved to 6-12 against the Orioles -- including 2-10 at Camden Yards. Everything seemed to fall into place for the team with the worst record in the major leagues. "Weve played some good baseball the last two days," third baseman Matt Dominguez said. "Pitched the ball well, got some timely hits. Hopefully that can give us a jumpstart." Adam Jones drove in both Baltimore runs, giving him 501 RBIs in 981 career games. Tillman gave up three runs, four hits and a season-high five walks in five innings. The right-hander settled down after issuing three walks and a home run in the first inning, but needed 105 pitches to get 15 outs. "It was a struggle for me. Fastball command wasnt there for me from the get-go," Tillman said. "It was a battle all day." Before the game, the Orioles activated Chris Davis (strained left oblique) from the 15-day disabled list and put catcher Matt Wieters on the DL with a strained right elbow. Davis went 2 for 4 in his first game since April 25. "Felt good," Davis said. "Timing is a little off, little in-between. But it was definitely good to be in there, moving around again." Houston took a 3-0 lead before Tillman retired a batter. After Altuve and Dexter Fowler walked, Castro hit the right-handers next pitch over the centre-field wall. Tillman has yielded seven first-inning runs this season, his most in any inning. "He kept us in the ballgame and threw some zeros up after that," manager Buck Showalter said. "But it wasnt what hes capable of or what weve come to expect. Or more importantly, what Chris has come to expect." Jones hit a two-run single to get Baltimore to 3-2 in the third. A double by Davis in the fifth put two runners in scoring position, but Jones struck out before Nelson Cruz flied out.

Tied for the highest point total in the Metropolitan Division, the Islanders got a long trip off to a strong start, and theyll continue their seven-game road stretch against the streaking Calgary Flames tonight. New York (25-11-1) has gone 6-1-1 since a three-game losing streak, putting it in a tie with Pittsburgh with 51 points - a season after finishing at the bottom of the division. The Islanders won their second straight Wednesday, 5-2 over Winnipeg in the opener of the trek that will keep them away from Nassau Coliseum until Jan. 16. Frans Nielsen had two goals and an assist and linemate Ryan Strome had four points for New York, which has scored nine goals in winning two straight. The Islanders went 2 for 7 on the power play in both games. The (past) couple of games, (the line) has been good for us, coach Jack Capuano told the teams official website about the unit that also includes Anders Lee. You have to get secondary scoring, obviously. For me tonight, that line was good. When we play on the road, (opponents are) going to get the matchups that they want against (the John) Tavares line. Youre going to need other guys to step up. Nielsen, Strome and Lee totaled four points in Mondays 4-3 overtime win over Washington. Jaroslav Halak has also keyed New Yorks hot stretch, winning six consecutive starts while posting a 1.79 goals-against average. The Islanders, whose 3.0 non-shootout goals per game is among the best marks in the NHL, continue their trip through western Canada before heading back east for three more road games - two against area rivals New Jersey and the Rangers. New York has gone 2-0-1 in its last three away from home and has 11 wins on the road - tied for the most in the Eastern Conference. We play a loose, confident game on the road, not that we (dont) at home, Lee said. Its just you. Youre against the crowd and against the home team. You just kind oof grind it out together and play a simple game.dddddddddddd The Islanders sent the Jets to their first back-to-back losses since late November, and theyll try to cool off another hot team in the Flames (21-15-3). Calgary has bounced back exceptionally well from an eight-game losing streak, winning four in a row. Josh Jooris scored in overtime for a 4-3 victory over Edmonton on Wednesday, Calgarys league-leading eighth win when trailing after two periods. The Flames have a plus-23 goal differential in the third period, also best in the NHL, and their 48 third-period goals match Tampa Bay for the most in the NHL. The fact that we battled back again shows the resiliency of this squad, Jooris told the teams website. We never had a doubt in our mind tonight. Intermission everyone was upbeat, positive. I think that helped us in the third. Joe Colborne scored twice to give him three goals in the last three games after having none through his first 18. Calgary, 3-0-0 on a six-game homestand, has taken the last two meetings with New York, winning 4-3 in the most recent one March 7 at the Saddledome behind two goals from Colborne. The Flames outscored the Islanders 3-0 in the third period.
