Brad Peacock (5-5) gave up a solo homer to Kendrys Morales among three hits allowed over six innings.
"He's been outstanding from the time we called him back up. It's been quality start after quality start," Astros manager Bo porter said.
Brandon Maurer (4-8) was pegged with the loss after giving up five runs on seven hits over three innings.
"When (Maurer) gets into trouble he is not able to control the damage and he can't stop it. It dominos on him," Mariners manager Eric Wedge said.

In the second, Dominguez doubled then scored on Marc Krauss' double to right. Corporan followed with a base hit to plate Krauss.
