Astros 7, Mariners 5: Valbuena's Two Homers Help Win Third Straight

Even though the starting pitching was shaky, the bats come alive to save the day.

On a night where the starting pitching was not sharp, the Astros bats came alive to pull out their third win in a row in their first game against the Mariners this season.  Asher Wojceichowski looked to build on the success of his last outing, but his game looked more like his first start against Cleveland than his great relief performance against Oakland last week.  In fact, it almost looked exactly like his first start (4 IP, 8 H, 4 ER, 2 BB).
