HOUSTON — Three years ago, Baltimore fans dreamed of lineups like the Orioles put out Sunday.
Eight of the Orioles’ nine players were homegrown and developed into top 100 prospects. That group — the Orioles’ young core that will determine whether the future is a success or not — combined to smack 11 hits and drive in 12 runs as Baltimore clobbered the Houston Astros, 12-0, to win the series.
