TV: Roots Sports SW, MLB.TV
Radio: KBME 790 AM, KLAT 1010 AM
Pitching matchup
RHP Scott Feldman (3-4, 5.17 ERA, 1.39 WHIP) vs. RHP Chris Tillman (2-5, 6.10 ERA, 1.62 WHIP)
Preview
I would suspect the Astros expected to be up one game in this series after Monday, but the O's bats had other ideas. Now Houston turns to Scott Feldman in the battle of wily veterans on the mound. Feldman has pitched through the sixth inning in his last three starts, two of those three starts are a quality start. Six of his nine starts this season have been quality starts.
Feldman is 4-2 with a 4.85 ERA in 14 career appearances against the Orioles.

Chris Tillman is the closest thing the O's have to a frontline starter. Tillman has struggled this season, he is looking for his first win since April 18. He has given up 10 earned runs over his last 15 1/3 innings and in his last start he pitched just three innings due to a rain delay. Tillman is 2-1 with a 2.41 ERA in three career starts against the Astros.
