The Astros took over sole possession of first place in the AL West for the first time since May 20th after nearly combining for a no-hitter against the Baltimore Orioles. Houston carried the no-hit bid into the eighth inning before coming away with the 10-2 victory in Baltimore. The 'Stros will look to extend their winning streak to nine games when Zack Greinke takes the hill later tonight.
