SEATTLE -- If only Collin McHugh could face the Seattle Mariners every time out.The Houston right-hander continued his mastery of the Mariners on Friday night, allowing only two hits in seven stellar innings in the Astros 6-0 win over Seattle.Houston ended Seattles eight-game win streak thanks to McHughs performance and solo home runs from Evan Gattis and Marwin Gonzalez. The Astros and remained four games behind Baltimore and Toronto in the AL wild-card race.We needed that on a lot of levels. Every game is magnified this time of year and we were playing a team that were chasing, Houston manager A.J. Hinch said.McHugh was outstanding in baffling the surging Mariners all night, not allowing a base runner until Nori Aokis leadoff single in the fourth inning. Seattles only other hit off McHugh was Kyle Seagers single with two outs in the seventh.McHugh (11-10) improved to 9-3 in his career against Seattle and 4-0 this season with a 1.08 ERA. Hes 6-0 in his career pitching at Safeco Field.I think we just match up pretty well with them, at least me, McHugh said. Whether its pitch mix, pitching in this park, the times Ive been able to throw against this team Ive been able to have some success. I dont know what the formula is.McHugh won his fourth straight decision with one of his strongest outings of the season. He completed seven innings for just the second time in his previous 14 starts. McHugh also allowed just two hits in his last start against the White Sox, but managed just five innings in that outing.Meanwhile, Seattle starter Felix Hernandez (11-6) stumbled in his biggest start of the season. With the Mariners back in the AL wild-card race, Hernandez failed to get through five innings, giving up five earned runs and eight hits.The solo homers by Gattis and Gonzalez in the fifth were the capper to Hernandezs miserable night. Gattis led off the inning with his 27th home run and Gonzalez followed with his 13th that knocked Hernandez from the game. Gonzalez now has 37 career home runs, 11 of those against Seattle.Hernandez was in trouble long before the two home runs. Jake Marisnicks two-run double in the second inning gave Houston the lead and the Astros added on with Carlos Correas RBI double in the third after Jose Altuve reached on an error and Yuli Gurriel added an RBI single in the fourth.These guys hit the fastball, they really are on it, and if you cant land your secondary pitches or kind of get them going back and forth, its going to be a long night for you, Seattle manager Scott Servais said. Certainly was not on top of his game tonight.Hinch praised the patience of his hitters laying off pitches just outside of the zone and making Hernandez throw strikes.We didnt chase a lot tonight and if you dont chase with him and you make him bring the ball in the strike zone hes human again, Hinch said.HEALTHY ALTUVEAltuve looked just fine after leaving Wednesdays game against Texas with an apparent oblique injury. After being checked out by doctors in Houston on Thursday, Altuve had two hits and was on base four times, twice reaching on errors. He scored his 100th run of the season and collected his 40th double.Hes Jose Altuve. He does nothing wrong, Hinch said.TRAINERS ROOMAstros: 3B Alex Bregman could miss the rest of the regular season with a hamstring injury suffered on Wednesday. Bregman did not travel with the team for its road trip and remained in Houston to get treatment.Mariners: Even after a day off, 1B Adam Lind still had some pain around his thumb and was out of the lineup for a fourth straight game. Servais was hopeful Lind would be available on Saturday.UP NEXTAstros: RHP Mike Fiers (10-7) makes his 28th start of the season. Fiers lasted just 3 1/3 innings in his only other start against Seattle this season, giving up four earned runs.Mariners: LHP James Paxton (4-6) will make his fifth start since coming off the disabled list on Aug. 25 but does not have a win since Aug. 7.Allen Iverson Jersey .

DETROIT -- Alex Rios hitting prowess on Tuesday night impressed his teammate Adam Dunn. Rios tied an American League mark with six hits in a nine-inning game and the White Sox beat the Detroit Tigers 11-4. "That takes people like me, two, maybe three weeks, to get six," Dunn said. Dunn hit a go-ahead, two-run homer off Justin Verlander in the eighth and he hit an RBI single in his second at-bat of the seven-run inning in which the White Sox broke open a 1-1 game. The last-place White Sox, who had lost four straight, finished with a season-high 23 hits and a season high in runs. "Its a good feeling to get a win -- those have been few and far between -- but just kind of the way we did it," Dunn said. Rios became the 32nd AL player to have six hits in a nine-inning game and the first in franchise history since Lance Johnson pulled off the feat in 1995 at Minnesota. "Its been the most fun weve had in a quite a while," Rios said. "Weve had some tough times, but it shows we havent quit." Dayan Viciedos second homer of the game helped the White Sox score seven runs in the eighth inning, and they scored three more runs in the ninth to surpass a season high for scoring. Miguel Cabrera hit his 29th homer, an impressive blast to left-centre, in the eighth inning to give him a major league high 92 RBIs and .363 batting average. He broke the franchise record for homers before the All-Star game, surpassing the total Cecil Fielder had at the break in 1990 during his 51-homer season. In the top of the eighth, Cabrera appeared to hurt his back by leaping for a high throw. "Hes not 100 per cent and thats why hes not going to take part in the home run contest," Tigers manager Jim Leyland said. "I talked to him and we talked to the trainers, and on the trainers advice, hes not going to do it. It would be pretty ridiculous to risk that." Verlander (9-6) gave up a season-high 12 hits, five runs and struck out three to match a season low in seven-plus innings. "Just one of those days that happens at this level, at this time of the year," he said. "Felt good, but just wasnt able to execute there in the eighth." Rios singled in the first, tripled in the third and also singled twice in the eighth inning. He also singled in the fifth and ninth innings. "Hes as good as anybody in this league," White Sox manager Robin Ventura said. "Tonight is indicative of that. Hes hitting and runnning the bases great.dddddddddddd" Rios hit his first single in the eighth inning and stole second and scored on Dunns 24th homer that put the White Sox ahead 3-1. The White Sox followed with two straight singles to end Verlanders night after 112 pitches. The All-Star won his previous start, pitching seven scoreless innings in a win over Toronto, after giving up 12 runs in his previous three outings. Jose Quintana (4-2) gave up three runs and six hits over eight innings, winning for the first time since May 21. "Im really happy for Q," Dunn said. "Hes pitched so good for us, and we just havent been able to score runs. Obviously, we havent scored runs for all our pitchers, but him and (Chris) Sale for sure." Viciedo had the first multihomer game of his four-year career. His second home run, a three-run shot, came on the second pitch Al Alburquerque threw in an outing that didnt last an inning. Alburquerque retired just two batters and gave up three runs and four hits. Phil Coke replaced Alburquerque with two outs, and gave up another hit. Quintana didnt have much trouble keeping the AL Central-leading Tigers quiet at the plate. Detroit didnt make the most of an opportunity with two runners in scoring position and one out in the second. Quintana got out of the jam by striking out Matt Tuiasosopo and Hernan Perez. Verlander stranded runners at second and third by striking out Dunn in the fifth. In the home half, Tuiasosopo sent a 1-2 pitch over the left-field wall to give Detroit a 1-0 lead. Viciedo hit a two-out, game-tying homer in the sixth. The White Sox had a runner on in the seventh, and wasted a chance to score a go-ahead run because Alejando De Aza ran toward second when Alexei Ramirez popped up in foul territory to Prince Fielder, who threw the ball to Verlander at first base for a double play. Detroits Don Kelly hit a solo homer in the ninth. NOTES: Detroit put 2B Omar Infante on the 15-day disabled list and Perez, recalled from Double-A Erie, started in his place. Infante hasnt played since last Wednesday, when he was hit hard by Torontos Colby Rasmus, who was sliding into second base. He is expected to be OK after the All-Star break. ...
