Strong pitching earns Mariners sweep, 9th straight win

Houston - Mariner pitching threw shutout ball wednesday afternoon against the Astros. James Paxton went 6.1 innings, and Charlie Furbush, and Fernando Rodney were able to do the rest in a 3-0 victory. On a day where the bats were finally quiet for a change the pitching staff stepped up and gave the Mariners the performance they needed to continue their hot streak. The M's now get a day off before they try to push the streak into double digits Friday in Chicago. It will be Felix Hernandez (8-7, 2.47 ERA) taking on John Danks (4-6, 3.59 ERA) in the opener.
