HOUSTON - The Orioles will try again today to win their first series since April 22-24, going 0-11-1 leading into today's finale against the Astros at Minute Maid Park.

They're repeating a lineup for the first time this season, sticking with the group that produced a 4-1 win yesterday afternoon.

Hanser Alberto is leading off, Jonathan Villar is batting fifth and Anthony Santander is batting sixth. Stevie Wilkerson is playing left field again and Richie Martin is the shortstop.

Everyone is in the same position and order.

Dylan Bundy has a 6.23 ERA and 1.673 WHIP in 17 1/3 career innings against the Astros. He's given up two earned runs (three total) in six innings at Minute Maid Park.

Josh Reddick is 6-for-10 against Bundy.

Left-hander Wade Miley, pitching for his sixth team, is 5-3 with a 3.39 ERA and 1.143 WHIP in 13 starts this season. He's registered seven quality starts and left-handers are batting .194/.229/.328 against him.

Miley has a 6.98 ERA and 1.500 WHIP in four career starts against the Orioles over 19 1/3 innings. Chris Davis is 3-for-9 with two doubles lifetime against him, but he's on the bench again today.
