HOUSTON -- Facing the defending World Series champion Astros isn't normally a cure for a cold ballclub, but don't tell the Mariners.
With Wade LeBlanc and the Mariners bullpen holding Houston to five hits and center fielder Guillermo Heredia making a game-saving catch in the eighth inning, Seattle rolled to its third straight win over the American League West leaders with a 3-2 victory on Saturday at Minute Maid Park.
Heredia's diving play on a sinking liner by Tony Kemp turned into a double play and prevented at least a game-tying run from scoring in the eighth and likely more.
