Orioles suffer seventh straight loss, striking out 13 times against Astros
Fans celebrated when Ubaldo Jimenez was taken out of the Orioles rotation. On top of the current losing streak, the Orioles have also lost 13 of their last 16 games and they are now just two games above .500 for the season. Nothing more clearly illustrates what a disaster this particular game was than this: After all of the fan excitement about Ubaldo Jimenez getting bounced from the starting rotation in favor of Alec Asher - at least for now - the game still ended up with Jimenez pitching in the third inning.
