Every outing Abreu makes, still, is magnified. The Astros are missing closer Josh Hader and set-up man Bennett Sousa to injuries.

Jeremy Peña and Christian Walker each hit a three-run homer, and the Houston Astros outslugged the Baltimore Orioles 10-7 on Friday night. Colton Cowser went deep for Baltimore, but the Orioles couldn't pull this game out despite twice cutting a four-run deficit to one.
