Darling Leads Astros to 7-5 Win Over Mariners
The Houston Astros stopped the Seattle Mariners, 7-5, behind an impressive performance from Mike Darling. The 29-year old shortstop made life miserable for Seattle pitching. He was 3-5 with a home run, a double, and a walk, while adding 4 RBI and scoring once. This win makes it 6 in a row for Houston.

Zack Atwood drew 1 walk for Houston. The 29-year old left fielder had a key at-bat in the top of the seventh. With no one out and the bases loaded, he broke a 5-5 tie with a run-scoring hit-by-pitch off Jeremy Canty. It was his 69th RBI of the season.

"Glad to get this win," said Atwood. "But we need to keep playing at a high level."
