Roundup: Astros Edge Mariners for 10th Straight Win

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.
