Houston Astros fight back after Alex Cintron's ejection

Moments after their hitting coach Alex Cintron was ejected from the dugout for arguing balls and strikes with the umpire, the Houston Astros hit back with Yainer Diaz's two-run homer to make the score 7-5 and keep the pressure on the Baltimore Orioles.
