Astros 7, Mariners 6: Astros power through sloppy game for all-important win

Chris Carter and Evan Gattis, where can I send my Christmas to this year for saving the Astros season last night?

Nothing has come easy for the Astros down the stretch. The team has had to fight, scratch, and claw its way out of numerous holes to keep themselves in playoff race.

Wednesday at Safeco was no different, Scott Kazmir continued his backslid into the playoffs allowing six runs (four earned) on seven hits over 4 1/3 innings. The bats didn't' help either, Luis Valbuena and Chris Carter struck out with runners on the corners and one out in the second.
