Astros 4, Mariners 1: George Springer and Marc Krauss each belted a two-run homer while Dallas Keuchel won his fourth straight start as visiting Houston earned a split of the four-game series.

Keuchel (6-2) allowed an unearned run and four hits, striking out six without a walk en route to his second complete game of the season. Springer’s blast was his fourth in his last three contests while Krauss, Matt Dominguez and Jose Altuve collected two hits apiece for the Astros.

Mike Zunino had a hit and scored the only run for the Mariners, who were retired in order from the third through the sixth innings. Hisashi Iwakuma (3-1) yielded four runs on nine hits while striking out six in his fifth start of the season.

Zunino singled to lead off the second inning and later scored as Keuchel committed a throwing error on Cole Gillespie's infield hit. Altuve singled with one out in the sixth and trotted home on Springer’s blast to left field that extended his hitting streak to seven games and gave Houston a 2-1 lead.

Dominguez started the seventh with a ground-rule double and Krauss followed with a shot into the right-field seats for his fourth homer of the season. Keuchel, who has given up only five runs (four earned) during his four-game winning streak, threw 106 pitches against the Mariners for his third career complete game.

GAME NOTEBOOK: Altuve finished the series 9-for-16 with four runs scored and three RBIs. …Seattle CF James Jones went 0-for-4, ending his 14-game hitting streak. … Seattle hosts a four-game series against the Los Angeles Angels that begins Monday, while Houston starts a three-game set at Kansas City.
