Evan Gattis homered twice, and the Houston Astros won their 10th straight game, improving the best record in the American League by beating the visiting Seattle Mariners, 7-6, on Sunday.
The Astros extended their best winning streak since a 12-game run in 2004.
At 18-7, Houston set a team record for its best record through 25 games. The Astros are coming off a 70-92 season, which followed three straight years of at least 106 losses.
Gattis, one of several Astros newcomers, hit a go-ahead solo shot in the eighth inning. It was his fifth homer in six games.
