Ichiro Suzuki's hit in the 6th inning gave him a 10-game hitting streak. It's the 24th 10-game hitting streak of his career, the most by an active major leaguer.
The Mariners will send right-hander Cha Seung Baek against 40-year-old right-hander Woody Williams of the Astros Saturday at 4:05 p.m.
Baek has a 3 and 2 record, with a 5.22 ERA, while Williams is 2 and 9, with a 5.51 ERA. Baek is making his 11th start of the season.
