Astros seeks second straight win over Mariners

Jun 16, 2007 - 1:22 PM Seattle (35-29) at Houston (28-39) 7:05 pm EDT

HOUSTON (Ticker) - The Houston Astros will try to make it two straight over the Seattle Mariners when they meet in the second game of a weekend series on Saturday.

In Friday's series opener, Wandy Rodriguez tossed 7 2/3 solid innings and Mike Lamb homered and drove in three runs as the Astros posted a 5-1 triumph.

Woody Williams (2-9, 5.51 ERA) takes the mound for Houston. He turned in perhaps his best performance of the season, allowing two runs in seven innings of a 2-1 setback against the Chicago Cubs on Monday.

A native of Houston, Williams is 3-5 with a 5.12 ERA in 16 career appearances against Seattle.

The Mariners will counter with Cha Seung Baek (3-2, 5.22), who is making his first career outing vs. Houston. He was pounded his last start, surrendering five runs and 10 hits in 5 1/3 frames in Monday's win at Cleveland but did not figure in the decision.

Seattle's lone bright spot on Friday was when Willie Bloomquist hit an inside-the-park home run. It was the 22nd by a Mariner and first since teammate Adrian Beltre accomplished the feat on June 26 against Boston's Mike Timlin.
