SEATTLE (AP) — George Springer, Yuli Gurriel and Evan Gattis hit long home runs and the Houston Astros wrapped up another winning road trip, beating the Seattle Mariners 8-2 Sunday.
The Astros went 6-1 on this swing and improved to a major league-best 29-9 on the road. They also own the top record in baseball at 52-25.
Houston rookie Francis Martes started in place of Brad Peacock, who’s on the paternity list. Martes gave up two runs in two rough innings, walking four and hitting a batter.
Four relievers combined to shut out the Mariners on three hits for seven innings, with Michael Feliz (3-1) getting the win.
Ariel Miranda (6-4) allowed four runs on five hits and a walk in 7 1/3 innings.
