Houston, Aug. 20: Michael Bourn tripled in a run, scored twice and stole two bases Wednesday, boosting the Houston Astros to a 6-3 victory over Florida.
The Marlins wasted one scoring chance after another, eventually stranding 17 runners. They left the bases loaded three times and committed three errors that led to three unearned runs.
Florida had 11 hits, making it the 15th straight game the Marlins have had at least 10. That ties a major league record set in 1929 by the New York Giants and tied in 1937 by the St. Louis Browns.
