The Astros dropped 2 1/2 games behind Baltimore for the final American League wild-card spot.Paulino (0-1), who was promoted from Triple-A Fresno two days earlier, allowed four hits, two walks and hit a batter. He failed to strike out any of the 15 batters he faced.I felt really good, thank God, and honestly didnt feel any pressure going out there in the first, the 6-foot-7 Paulino said through an interpreter.

Houston made 17 pitching changes and allowed 25 runs in the series.It was a big ask for us to expect Paulino to go long, Hinch said.
