Their only longer winning streak was a 15-game run from May 23-June 8, 2001 — the last year they made the playoffs. Washington starter Erick Fedde (5-7) allowed two runs on six hits over 5 1/3 innings in the nightcap. It’s the Orioles’ longest winning streak in a single season since they won 13 in a row from Sept. 7-22, 1999. Houston’s Cristian Javier went only 3 2/3 innings and allowed three runs but had 10 strikeouts. Jhoan Duran (1-3) worked the ninth for the first win of his career, allowing one hit and a walk.
