BALTIMORE — Anthony Santander hit a grand slam off Bryan Abreu in the eighth inning, carrying the Baltimore Orioles to a 7-5 comeback victory over the Houston Astros. Baltimore managed only three hits and trailed 5-2 before rallying Friday night to end Houston's nine-game road winning streak. Colton Cowser and Adley Rutschman singled before Abreu (2-2) snagged a comebacker but was late trying to get Cowser at third base, loading the bases. Santander then ripped a 2-1 fastball far over the right-field wall for his 38th home run of the season. It was his second slam this season and fourth of his career.
