HOUSTON — – Julio Rodr\u00edguez homered and Randy Arozarena<\/a> added two hits to lead the Seattle Mariners<\/a> to a 3-1 win over the Houston Astros<\/a> on Monday night.<\/p>\n

It’s Seattle’s franchise-record eighth straight win over the Astros and comes after the Mariners dropped their last two games.<\/p>\n

Dominic Canzone<\/a> and Cole Young<\/a> both hit RBI singles in the second and Rodr\u00edguez’s seventh home run of the season made it 3-0 in the third.<\/p>\n

Seattle’s Cal Raleigh<\/a> 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.<\/p>\n

He almost got a hit on his last at-bat in the ninth, but left fielder Zach Cole<\/a> made a sliding grab to send him back to the dugout.<\/p>\n

Isaac Paredes<\/a> tied a season high with three hits and drove in Houston’s run. Jose Altuve<\/a> added three hits for the Astros, who dropped a third straight game.<\/p>\n

Seattle’s George Kirby<\/a> (5-2) allowed seven hits and a run with seven strikeouts in five innings. Andr\u00e9s Mu\u00f1oz allowed a two-out single to Altuve in the ninth, but struck out Yordan Alvarez<\/a> for his eighth save.<\/p>\n

Houston starter Peter Lambert<\/a> (2-3) allowed six hits and three runs while striking out six in seven innings.<\/p>\n

Arozarena singled with one out in the second before a walk by Luke Raley<\/a>. 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.<\/p>\n

Rodr\u00edguez opened the third inning with his home run that left Seattle up 3-0.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Up Next<\/p>\n

RHP Tatsuya Imai (1-0, 7.27 ERA) is scheduled to come off the injured list after sitting out for more than a month with arm fatigue when the series continues Tuesday night. RHP Bryan Woo<\/a> (2-2, 4.02) will start for the Mariners.<\/p>\n
