Astros go for rare sweep against Mariners

HOUSTON (Ticker) - The Houston Astros will attempt to capture their first series sweep of the season as they host the Seattle Mariners at Minute Maid Park on Sunday.

Houston has not won three straight since winning four in a row from May 12-16. Since then, the Astros have gone just 9-20.

The Astros have scored 14 runs in winning the first two games of this series.

Looking to help the Astros bring out the broom, Houston will call on ace Roy Oswalt (6-4, 3.44 ERA), who is 0-2 in his last six starts. Jarrod Washburn (5-5, 3.87) seeks his first win in his last four starts for the Mariners.

After carrying a 3.22 ERA into his first start in June, he has been pummeled for 11 earned runs and a .371 batting average against in June, leading to a 6.91 ERA for the month.

After winning the first five games of its 10-game road trip, the Mariners have dropped four straight.
