Astros 8, Mariners 7
Straw, Gurriel lift Astros to win
The Mariners staged tying rallies in the ninth and 10th innings and loaded the bases in the bottom of the 14th thanks to three walks by Chris Devenski (1-0), but the right-hander got Shed Long to fly out to end it.
The Astros led 5-1 after 6
Josh Reddick’s sacrifice fly as a pinch-hitter in the 10th gave the Astros to a 7-6 lead before Omar Narvaez tied it with his ninth homer of the season.
Matt Festa (0-1) allowed Straw’s triple — a ball that was played poorly by right fielder Domingo Santana — and one walk in the 14th for the Mariners.
Mariners outfielder Mitch Haniger left in the seventh with what the team called a “mid-body” contusion.
The Astros took three of four in the series and are 9-0-1 in their last 10 series.
