HOUSTON (AP) — With their lineup at full strength for the first time in more than two months Rick Porcello Jersey , the Houston Astros put on an offensive show against the Oakland Athletics on Monday night.“When we’re healthy, we’re the best team in baseball,” third baseman Alex Bregman said. and the Astros rallied for an 11-4 win over the Athletics. It was the sixth straight win for the first-place Astros, who moved to 2 1/2 games ahead of Oakland in the AL West.George Springer and Jose Altuve helped in the victory, driving in a run each during a five-run third inning that erased an early 4-0 deficit. This was the first game Springer, Altuve and Carlos Correa were in the lineup together since June 25. Springer, who pinch-hit Sunday, missed the previous five games with a quadriceps injury.“When we’re going well we have this extended lineup, this long lineup where it doesn’t matter where we are, we’re a threat. We showed that again tonight,” manager AJ Hinch said. “So it certainly felt good that the guys stepped up and put up crazy good at-bats.”The Astros led by 1 with two on and one out in the eighth inning when Bregman http://www.oriolesfanproshop.com/authentic-j.j.-hardy-jersey , who tied a career high with four hits, sent a pitch from Lou Trivino just over the short fence in left field to push the lead to 8-4. White made it 11-4 with two outs in the inning when he launched a fastball from Emilio Pagan onto the train tracks atop left field for another three-run shot.The Athletics jumped on starter Gerrit Cole (12-5) for four runs behind a two-run homer by Marcus Semien in the second and a two-run run shot by Matt Chapman in the third. The homer by Chapman was his 21st after he homered twice Sunday.Cole settled down after the tough early innings to throw three scoreless frames and collect his second straight win. He allowed four hits and struck out eight to move ahead of teammate Justin Verlander (229) and into first place in the AL with 234 strikeouts.Trailing 4-0, the Astros got a single from Martin Maldonado off Brett Anderson (3-4) with one out in the third inning before Springer cut the lead to 4-1 with a double to left field. Bregman followed with a double to send another run home. Altuve then knocked a third straight double into left field to score Bregman and get Houston within 4-3.An RBI single by Marwin Gonzalez, who finished with three hits, with two outs in the inning chased Anderson. Yusmeiro Petit was greeted with a single by White, which scored Gonzalez to put the Astros up 5-4.“The five-run inning gave them some momentum and we just couldn’t do anything offensively against them after that,” manager Bob Melvin said.Anderson was disappointed that he had another tough outing against the Astros after allowing 10 hits and nine runs — both season-highs — in three innings of a 16-2 loss to them on May 7.“They’re a good team with a good lineup and have everybody back at full strength,” he said. “I just couldn’t stop the bleeding. It’s unfortunate that I’ve had two really (bad) outings against the team that we’re chasing.”TRAINER’S ROOMAstros: C Brian McCann (knee surgery) will return to Houston on Tuesday after completing a rehabilitation assignment, and the team will decide whether to activate him in the next couple of days or wait until Saturday when the rosters expand. … RHP Chris Devenski (left hamstring tightness) will pitch in a rehabilitation game for Double-A Corpus Christi on Thursday.SEEING CLEARLYJust before his home run in the eighth inning, there was a delay during White’s at-bat because he was having a problem with one of his contacts.“Usually I can get it to clear up pretty quick and I couldn’t get it, so I got some rewetting drops to clear it up,” he said. “Then I had to take my glove off and like move it all the way across my eye to get it right.”After that Adam Jones Jersey , he was able to see clearly, and it showed when he connected on his ninth homer this season.WHAT A RELIEFDaniel Mengden, who was recalled from Triple-A Nashville on Monday, allowed four hits in four scoreless innings to help Oakland’s taxed bullpen. It was his first relief appearance in the majors after 37 career starts and could be his only one for a while with Melvin saying there is a possibility he could rejoin the rotation after this series.UP NEXTHouston’s Charlie Morton (13-3, 3.05 ERA) opposes Oakland’s Edwin Jackson (4-3, 2.97) when the series continues on Tuesday night. Morton, who got his first win since July 31 in his last start, can tie a career high for victories. SEATTLE (AP) — Felix Hernandez waited until the seventh game of the regular season to finally take the mound, and that felt foreign to Seattle’s former ace.It may have provided a little bit of motivation as well.“It’s been tough,” Hernandez said. “But got my debut for 2019. Got to get going.”Hernandez allowed one earned run and pitched into the sixth inning for his first victory since June, and the Mariners beat the Los Angeles Angels 6-3 on Monday night.This wasn’t King Felix of the past. He’s no longer that pitcher, after he was demoted to the No. 5 spot in Seattle’s rotation following a career-worst season in 2018. But his initial outing in the new season was a positive sign the Mariners were hoping to see from the nearly 33-year-old.He worked ahead of hitters Manny Machado Jersey , throwing strikes early in the count. He didn’t walk a batter. He overcame adversity with Seattle’s defense committing four errors. Most important, the big inning that showed up regularly last season never materialized.With the King’s Court fan section at his back, Hernandez (1-0) allowed seven hits. He struck out four and earned his first victory since June 30, 2018. Hernandez went his final 11 starts of last season without a win. He was charged with two unearned runs.The Mariners will take that quality of an outing every time Hernandez is on the hill.“I thought he stayed with the plan he had going into the game. I know he wanted to get the curveball going, but still using the fastball enough,” Seattle manager Scott Servais said. “The curveball and changeup those are his weapons. You can only really get going with that when you get ahead in the count, and that’s what he did pretty well tonight.”Seattle’s bullpen was also solid, throwing 3 2/3 scoreless innings, allowing only two baserunners — including an intentional walk to Mike Trout. Roenis Elias pitched the ninth for his first save.Jay Bruce homered for the third straight game, hitting a two-run shot in the seventh inning. Seattle has 16 home runs and has scored at least five runs in all seven games.Seattle scored four times in the first inning off starter Chris Stratton (0-1), including RBI singles by Domingo Santana and Omar Narvaez and a two-run double by AL player of the week Tim Beckham. The Mariners missed chances to extend the lead, leaving the bases loaded in the fifth and runners at second and third in the sixth.Bruce didn’t miss Hansel Robles’ pitch Chris Davis Jersey , homering in three straight games for the 12th time in his career.Albert Pujols doubled in the fourth inning for the 640th of his career, moving into a tie with Honus Wagner for ninth on the career list. The Angels scored twice in the fourth inning helped by a pair of errors from Narvaez, but were shutdown otherwise. The Angels have scored three or fewer runs in four of five games.“We’re not clicking on all cylinders offensively. And it can be tough on pitchers if you’re constantly trying to hold a team,” Angels manager Brad Ausmus said. “So it would be nice to jump on a team early from an offensive standpoint and maybe let their pitching staff have to worry about holding us.”TRAINER’S ROOMAngels pitcher Andrew Heany underwent a CT scan on his left elbow Monday and was diagnosed as having normal chronic wear in his pitching elbow, general manager Billy Eppler said. Heany will undergo a cortisone injection and should be cleared to resume his throwing program in the next seven-to-10 days. Eppler said Heany won’t completely start over his throwing program but will take some time before he’s back on the mound.TRADE ALARMSeattle made a minor trade Monday, acquiring right-handed reliever Connor Sadzeck from Texas in exchange for minor league pitcher Grant Anderson. Sadzeck will add depth to a bullpen that was Seattle’s biggest question entering the season. Sadzeck was designated for assignment by Texas on March 28. He appeared in 13 games last season with the Rangers, but has struggled with control.Seattle transferred reliever Hunter Strickland to the 60-day injured list to clear a spot on the 40-man roster.UP NEXTAngels: Trevor Cahill (0-1) looks to rebound from a rough start in the season opener when he allowed four earned runs in six innings against Oakland. He has a 3.40 ERA in his career against Seattle.Mariners: Marco Gonzales (2-0) makes his third start of the season. Gonzales has allowed three earned runs in both of his starts pitching into or through the sixth inning in both.
