HOUSTON, Texas – Alex Bregman homered and the Houston Astros (82-47) topped the Baltimore Orioles (67-60) Sunday, 3-1.
The win did come at a price, as ‘Stros ace Justin Verlander was forced to leave after three innings with a calf injury.
Verlander is in the midst of a comeback season, leading the big leagues with a 1.84 ERA and tied for most wins with 16.
Manager Dusty Baker says he is set to undergo further testing Monday.
