Justin Verlander pitched eight scoreless innings as the Houston Astros defeated the host Seattle Mariners 4-0 Saturday.
Martin Maldonado got his first hit of the season, a two-run homer, and Jeremy Pena went 3-for-3 with a double and triple, scored twice and drove in a run as the Astros evened the series at a game apiece.
Ozzie Albies homered on the game's second pitch off Padres starter and loser Nick Martinez. Albies has homered in each of the first three games of the series. Matt Olson and Marcell Ozuna added solo homers in the fifth off Martinez . Grandal hit a ground ball through the vacant shortstop hole to score Luis Robert with the go-ahead run.
Boston got a much-needed strong start from Houck after Nick Pivetta lasted just two innings on Friday. Houck threw 89 pitches, allowing two hits and three walks while striking out four. Six different players recorded hits for the Red Sox, who have won three of their last four games and pitched their first shutout of the season.
Ranger Suarez earned the win, allowing six hits, three walks and two runs in five innings. His ERA decreased from 10.13 to 5.87. Pittsburgh scored three runs in the eighth to move ahead 6-2 before Washington mounted a rally in the ninth against Chris Stratton. The Nationals scored twice and had a runner on before Maikel Franco flied out to end the game.
Antonio Senzatela allowed one run on seven hits in five innings, and Daniel Bard picked up his fourth save. Jonathan Villar had four hits, Patrick Wisdom had three hits and Seiya Suzuki and Jayson Heyward had two hits apiece for Chicago.
