Astros starter Dallas Keuchel pitched well in a no-decision on Thursday against the Orioles. Keuchel allowed two runs on six hits over six innings. The left-hander struck out seven and walked one in the 3-2 loss.
Keuchel (7-1) gave up an RBI single to Chris Davis in the first inning, and another to Steve Pearce in the sixth for the only damage against him. He left with the game tied 2-2, but the Houston offense and bullpen were not able to supply Keuchel with the win.
"A lot of what-ifs today," said Keuchel, per MLB.com. "We really didn't deserve a chance to win.
The outing actually lifted his ERA up to 1.85 on the season, but he has been rather inconsistent recently. Keuchel (7-1) has allowed four earned runs in three of his last seven starts, but allowed two or fewer in the other four.
Keuchel will make his next start Tuesday against the White Sox in Chicago.
