MLB: Astros roll to 8th straight win

Jake Odorizzi and the Houston bullpen took a bid for a combined no-hitter into the eighth inning, eventually settling for a 10-2 victory over the Orioles in Baltimore that marked the Astros’ eighth straight win.

Bobby Bradley and Josh Naylor homered — helping the Indians overcome the loss of Aaron Civale, who exited with two outs in the fifth because of a right middle finger injury — in a 4-0 win over the Cubs at Wrigley Field. The right-hander leads the major leagues with 10 wins.
