Wei-Yin Chin pitched into the seventh for the Orioles, but left with the score tied at 2-2 after giving up two runs on five hits in six and a third innings, striking out nine and walking two.
Darren O’Day (2-0) vultured the win with a scoreless inning of relief that featured two strikeouts and two walks.
Zach Britton notched his 14th save with an inning and two-thirds of perfect relief with three strikeouts.
Jones was 3-for-4 on the day with the solo homer, his seventh of the season, off Houston reliever Chad Qualls (1-3), and two runs scored.
