HOUSTON (AP) --- Julio Rodrguez homered and Randy Arozarena added two hits to
lead the Seattle Mariners to a 3-1 win over the Houston Astros on Monday night.
It's Seattle's franchise-record eighth straight win over the Astros and comes
after the Mariners dropped their last two games.
Dominic Canzone and Cole Young both hit RBI singles in the second and
Rodrguez's seventh home run of the season made it 3-0 in the third.
Seattle's Cal Raleigh went 0 for 4 to make last year's AL MVP runner-up 0 for
36 since his last hit on April 27. His slump is the longest hitless streak in
the majors this season.
He almost got a hit on his last at-bat in the ninth, but left fielder Zach Cole
made a sliding grab to send him back to the dugout.
Isaac Paredes tied a season high with three hits and drove in Houston's run.
Jose Altuve added three hits for the Astros, who dropped a third straight game.
Seattle's George Kirby (5-2) allowed seven hits and a run with seven strikeouts
in five innings. Andrs Muoz allowed a two-out single to Altuve in the ninth,
but struck out Yordan Alvarez for his eighth save.
Houston starter Peter Lambert (2-3) allowed six hits and three runs while
striking out six in seven innings.
Arozarena singled with one out in the second before a walk by Luke Raley. There
were two outs in the inning when Arozarena scored on a single by Canzone to
make it 1-0. A single by Young followed to score Raley and push the lead to 2-0.
Rodrguez opened the third inning with his home run that left Seattle up 3-0.
Altuve hit a one-out single in the fifth and moved to third on a single by
Alvarez. An RBI single by Paredes on a grounder to left field cut the lead to
3-1.
