HOUSTON -- Seattle rookie Brad Miller waited 72 at-bats for his first major league homer. The second one came much quicker. Miller hit his first two major league homers on consecutive at-bats and drove in five runs as the Mariners overcame rookie Brandon Barnes cycle for the Astros in a 10-7 win over Houston on Friday night. "I was obviously pumped after the first one, hitting the ball well," he said. "I was just trying to have another good at-bat and I was able to get another one. So it was fun." Miller, who started the season in Double-A, launched a two-run shot to the second deck in right field to chase starter Bud Norris (6-9) and make it 6-2 in the sixth. "It felt pure and I kind of blacked out there for a little bit," he said. He finished with three hits and added a three-run homer when he sent one to the first row in right field, just beyond the grasp of a leaping Justin Maxwell, in the eighth. "I didnt see it originally off the bat and then I saw Maxwell turn. Im like: Gosh, hes like 7-foot tall. Hes about to do something," Miller said of the 6-foot-5 Maxwell. "He was sizing up the wall and Im like: Just go. And luckily it just got out of his reach." Manager Eric Wedge was impressed with the work of his rookie. "He has some power," Wedge said. "He has considerable power talking about ball off the bat, the way it jumps. Hes going to be a hitter first. Hell hit a few home runs." Kyle Seager extended his major league-best hitting streak to 15 games with a two-run homer that gave Seattle a 2-1 lead in the second, and Justin Smoak hit a solo home run in the ninth. Barnes hit a solo homer in the second inning and had a run-scoring triple in the fourth. He singled in the sixth inning and completed the cycle with a sharp groundball double down the right field line in the eighth inning. "Thats a great feat, and it doesnt happen in our game every day," Houston manager Bo Porter said. "To accomplish it in a big-league game is pretty impressive, and it couldnt have happened to a better guy." He added a single in the ninth to finish 5 for 5 and become the first Astro to collect five hits since Hunter Pence did it in May 2008. It was Seattles 23rd straight game with at least one homer to extend the team record. It is tied for the sixth-longest such streak in major league history dating to 1916. Mariners starter Joe Saunders (9-8) yielded nine hits and three runs with six strikeouts in 5 1-3 innings for his fourth straight win. Tom Wilhelmsen allowed two hits and a run in 1 1-3 innings for his 20th save. Norris had a second straight tough start, allowing six hits and six runs with four walks in 5 2-3 innings. He has allowed 17 hits and 13 runs in his last two starts. Millers dazzling play wasnt limited to offence on Friday night. He also had a nice night on defence, starting a nifty double play in the fourth inning by flipping a grounder hit by J.D. Martinez to second baseman Nick Franklin. Franklin barehanded the ball and threw it to first to complete the double play. Barnes became the second player this season to hit for the cycle against the Mariners. Mike Trout of the Angels did it on May 21. It is the eighth time an Astro has hit for the cycle and the first time since Luke Scott did it on May 28, 2006, against Arizona. Barnes is the first right-handed hitter to accomplish the feat since Craig Biggio did it on April 8, 2002, at Colorado. Barnes pumped his fist after he beat the throw into second base on his double. Saunders walked Justin Maxwell with one out in the sixth before a single by Barnes. He was replaced by Yoervis Medina after Matt Dominguez drew a walk to load the bases. Pinch hitter Brett Wallace grounded into a force out that scored a run to cut the lead to 6-3. Wallace added a two-run homer in Houstons three-run eighth inning. Kendrys Morales singled to start the fourth inning. Seager gave Seattle a 2-1 lead with his shot to left field. Norris plunked Michael Saunders with one out before walking Mike Zunino. Dustin Ackley followed with a double that rolled into the left-field corner to score two and push the lead to 4-1. Houstons Jason Castro hit his 26th double of the season in the first inning to pass Brad Ausmus for most doubles by a catcher in team history. Ausmus had 25 in 1997. NOTES: The series continues Saturday when Seattles Hisashi Iwakuma (8-4) opposes Erik Bedard (3-6). ... Houston will recall RHP Jarred Cosart from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday to start against Oakland. The 23-year-old took a no-hitter into the seventh inning and got the win, allowing just two hits and no runs in eight-plus innings in his major league debut just before the break. He was optioned to Oklahoma City after the game, but is scheduled to stay this time and be Houstons fifth starter.

Nathan MacKinnon, Jamie McGinn and Jan Hejda also scored for the Avalanche, who won despite being outshot 38-23. MacKinnons goal, also on the power play, came with just over a minute remaining. DETROIT -- Injuries are part of the game, but for the Detroit Tigers and New York Mets, they seem to be an everyday part.One of the reasons Detroit didnt make any non-waiver trade deadline deals -- aside from having little to offer -- was the expectation of getting pitchers Jordan Zimmermann and Daniel Norris back from the disabled list along with right fielder J.D. Martinez.Theyre all back now -- sort of.Norris was taken off the disabled list -- and optioned to Toledo.Zimmermann came off -- and got rocked in his first start. Now hes dealing with a bad right lat muscle that might land him back on the disabled list. More might be known after he throws a side session on Sunday.Martinez came back as a pinch hitter and clubbed the winning home run on the first pitch he saw upon his return, then smoked a double on the first pitch he saw in his first start the following day.The Mets will be missing a middle-of-the-order bat for two weeks (or maybe more) with outfielder Yoenis Cespedes going on the DL with a right quad issue he has been dealing with for three weeks.Thats not to mention problems with keeping their first basemen healthy and assorted injuries to other infielders and key rotation members.It seems like theres a night we pitch well and we dont hit, Mets manager Terry Collins said. Then theres another night we score six and we win a game and the pitchings OK. The next night we dont hit again.Its certainly hard to understand why were going like that.New York will send right-hander Logan Verrett out to face Detroit for the first time when he starts Saturday night against the Tigers.dddddddddddd.Verrett is 3-6 with a 4.20 ERA in 28 games with the Mets this season, including 10 starts. He has made four starts since the All-Star break with no decisions but a 3.86 ERA. He has 16 strikeouts and eight walks.This will be his second straight start against an American League team, having allowed three runs in five innings against the New York Yankees in his most recent start.Detroit left-hander Matt Boyd will be seeking a chance to prolong his time in the rotation when he starts against the Mets.Boyd (2-2, 4.71 ERA) will be making his 10th start in 11 appearances with Detroit this season. He has done a decent job of filling in while Zimmermann and Norris recuperated.It will be his first game against the Mets and only his second time facing a National League opponent. Boyd got two outs in relief in a game against the Cubs last Aug. 19 in Chicago.Boyd has been inconsistent, tending to throw too many hittable pitches at some point in his most of his starts, but he did pick up a win in his last outing. He allowed three runs in five innings with a walk and six strikeouts against Houston on July 29.Detroit has pulled within two games of first-place Cleveland in the American League Central after winning nine of 10 games while the Indians have cooled off.We want everyone to join us, Detroit second baseman Ian Kinsler said. Theres plenty of room on the bandwagon.
