HOUSTON (AP) — Luis Valbuena and Jason Castro homered as the Houston Astros chased Felix Hernandez in an eight-run first inning to snap a season-high, seven-game skid with a 10-0 win over the Seattle Mariners on Friday night.
Carlos Correa and Chris Carter also went deep for the Astros, but All-Star second baseman Jose Altuve exited early with discomfort in his right hamstring.
Hernandez (9-3), who had allowed just seven runs on the road all season, was tagged for five hits and eight runs with two walks. He got only one out, tying the shortest start of his career.
