HOUSTON -- With the top of Houstons batting order struggling Friday night, the players at the bottom came through to help the Astros keep their winning streak intact. Jonathan Villar broke an 0-for-26 slump with a go-ahead RBI double in the seventh inning and the Astros won their seventh straight game with a 2-1 victory over the Baltimore Orioles in the annual Major League Baseball Civil Rights game. It is the first time Houston, losers of 100-plus games the last three seasons, has won seven straight since 2010. Brett Oberholtzer (2-6) allowed four hits and a run in seven innings for the win and Chad Qualls got the last four outs for his fifth save. "Everybody did their part tonight," Houston manager Bo Porter said. "Oberholtzer was outstanding. The bullpen came in and was able to close it out and hold the game right there. Overall, just a great team win." The Astros had one hit before Matt Dominguez doubled to start the seventh. Alex Presley singled with one out but was thrown out trying to stretch it into a double. Robbie Grossman followed with a double, which sailed just out of the reach of a leaping Steve Pearce in left field, to tie it 1-all. Villars ground-rule double bounced into the bullpen in right-centre field to put Houston on top and chase Miguel Gonzalez (3-4). "Extremely happy for (Villar) and Grossman," Porter said. "Both of them have been kind of scuffling and for them to be the two offensive heroes tonight, it definitely feels good." Houstons Nos. 7, 8 and 9 hitters combined for three hits Friday night while the top three had just one. "I feel like were never out of a game," said Grossman, who was recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Monday. "Were just out there having fun." Adam Jones doubled to start the second inning and scored on a one-out single by J.J. Hardy to put Baltimore up 1-0. But the Orioles couldnt do much else against Oberholtzer as they tied a season high with their fourth straight loss. "Weve scored five runs in the last three games," manager Buck Showalter said. "You tip your cap to the other pitcher, but were capable of better." Gonzalez kept Houston off-balance early and didnt allow a hit until Jose Altuve legged out an infield single on a grounder to shortstop with one out in the sixth. Gonzalez yielded five hits and two runs in 6 2-3 innings. The Astros wore the uniforms of the Houston Eagles and the Orioles donned the uniforms of the Baltimore Elite Giants of the Negro Leagues for the game. Houston rookie George Springer, who had hit seven homers in his previous seven games, went 0 for 4 with two strikeouts to snap an 11-game hitting streak. Oberholtzer had retired five straight before Nelson Cruz extended his hitting streak to 11 games with a single to start the fourth inning. But he still faced the minimum in the inning thanks to a double play. He threw perfect frames in both the fifth and sixth and sat down the first two batters in the seventh before a single by Chris Davis. Hardys fly out ended the inning and Oberholtzers night. Gonzalez retired the first eight batters before walking Villar with two outs in the third. But Altuve grounded out to end that inning. He plunked Jason Castro with two outs in the fourth before Pearce robbed Dominguez of a hit with a diving catch to end the inning.

Bradley, fighting an 0 for 27 slump, was put in for defence in the eighth inning by manager John Farrell and made two scintillating catches on the dead run to help preserve Allen Websters 4-2 win over the Los Angeles Angels. "Hes such an impact defender. Weve seen it many times, and he had an impact in this game tonight just with two innings of defence," Farrell said. "The one thing that has never been shaken in his time here has been his defence. Hes a confident defender, and he feels like he can roll out of bed and run to a spot where a ball is eventually going to land. Thankfully, hes got that instinct because it showed up twice here tonight." Bradley raced toward short right-centre to prevent a leadoff single by Mike Trout leading off the eighth, then sprinted to the alley in right-centre and made a leaping grab of Howie Kendricks extra-base bid leading off the ninth. "It all happened so fast. I was just hoping the wall didnt stop me before I was able to get to it," Bradley said. "On the first play, Trout had two strikes on him -- but Im not playing in with that guy. I saw it right off the bat, so I just put my head down. It was much easier than the one to the wall because I could keep my eyes on it." Mike Napoli homered against former batterymate Jered Weaver and Yoenis Cespedes hit a two-run double for the Red Sox. Webster (2-1) allowed two runs and four hits over 6 2-3 innings in his third start since getting recalled from Triple-A on July 26, when Jake Peavy was traded to San Francisco. The right-hander struck out three, walked two and hit two batters. Uehara got three outs during a shaky ninth to get his 24th save. Weaver (12-7) lost for the first time since June 16, allowing four runs and seven hits through six innings after going 5-0 in his previous nine starts. The Angels fourth straight loss matched their loongest skid of the season and dropped them four games behind AL West-leading Oakland, following the Athletics 6-5 win over Minnesota.dddddddddddd. "Obviously, it could have gone a little better," Weaver said. "I really wanted to come in and throw a good game and it wasnt really the case. I was kind of battling the whole night. I couldnt make pitches. Thats all there is to it." Last Saturday at Fenway Park against the Yankees, Webster was staked to a 3-0 lead in the second inning before walking his first three batters in the third and giving up four runs en route to a 6-4 loss. "It was an encouraging outing for him," Farrell said. "He was much more under control tonight and showed the ability to make adjustments more readily than the last time out. Theres no denying his potential. We see it every time we put the ball in his hand." But Napoli, who caught Weaver during their first five seasons in the big leagues, helped make sure there wouldnt be a repeat of that scenario for Webster when he hit his 14th homer to left-centre with two out in the fifth. It was his third against Weaver.
