SEATTLE — Alex Bregman had two hits and three RBI, and seven other Astros drove in at least one run as Houston beat the Seattle Mariners 11-5 Tuesday night for its fifth straight win.
Despite playing without Jose Altuve, George Springer and Carlos Correa, the Astros have won nine of 11 and are 5-0 during this road trip. They also are 5-0 this season against the Mariners, who have lost four straight.
The Mariners led 5-4 after six innings before the Astros scored three runs in the seventh and four in the eighth.
Daniel Vogelbach’s base-loaded double with two outs in the sixth briefly gave the Mariners the lead. Vogelbach pinch-hit for designated hitter Tim Beckham after the Mariners loaded the bases, trailing 4-2.
Astros left-hander Reymin Guduan (1-0) was recalled for Triple-A Round Rock on Tuesday and came in to pitch against the left-hand hitting Vogelbach, who sent a liner off the wall in center to clear the bases.
Andrew Moore, making his first major league appearance since September of 2017, gave up four runs and six hits in 4 2/3 innings as the Mariners’ starter. Brandon Brennan (2-4) allowed three runs in the sixth.
Wade Miley started for the Astros and gave up three runs in five-plus innings. The Astros have won seven of his last nine outings.
Jake Marisnick had two hits and two RBI for Houston, and Tony Kemp and Robinson Chirinos each homered.
Mitch Haniger hit his 15th home run of the season for the Mariners.
