Astros - Orioles lineups today Sunday, June 23: Who are the starting pitchers?
The Astros are very close to sweeping the series in Houston against the Baltimore Orioles. This Sunday, Framber Valdez will look to make it happen.
The Astros seem to be finding their mojo in the Major League Baseball season. After a disastrous start that has them on a 37-40 record, Houston have won 7 of their last 10 games and now they are one game away from sweeping the series against one of the best teams of the season, the Baltimore Orioles.
Houston won the first two games of the series at Minute Maid Park, and now with the help of Dominican Framber Valdez they want to sweep the series against the Orioles, who will put Venezuelan Albert Suárez on the mound in order to avoid falling further behind the Yankees, leaders in the American East.

Baltimore know that they cannot leave Houston empty-handed and that is why Sunday’s game will be of the utmost importance for them. Therefore, they are preparing a bullpen that can hurt Framber’s pitching, who is 3-3 on the season.
Houston are eight games behind the Seattle Mariners, still a little far behind in their division, but they know that winning series will bring them closer to still have hopes of returning to the Playoffs.
