HOUSTON (AP) — Luis Valbuena, Jason Castro, Carlos Correa and Chris Carter all homered as the Houston Astros chased Felix Hernandez in the first inning to snap a season-high, seven-game skid in grand fashion with a 10-0 win over the Seattle Mariners on Friday night.
Hernandez (9-3), who had allowed just seven runs on the road all season, was tagged for five hits and eight runs with two walks. He got only one out, tying the shortest start of his career.
Brett Oberholtzer (1-1) allowed three hits in eight sharp innings and Joe Thatcher completed the four-hitter. It was Oberholtzer’s fourth start of the season after missing much of the year because of two stints on the disabled list.
