SEATTLE -- After losing his first two starts against Houston this season, Seattles Hisashi Iwakuma got the better of the Astros on Saturday with one of his best performances of the season.Iwakuma limited Houston to two hits in seven innings, Robinson Cano provided the only scoring with a RBI single in the sixth and the Mariners beat the Astros 1-0.It was payback time, Iwakuma said through an interpreter. They got me pretty good the last couple starts. We just knew we had to change our game plan.Iwakuma (10-6) won his fourth straight start to become the first Seattle pitcher to reach double-digit wins. He struck out eight and walked one as the Mariners snapped a five-game losing streak against Houston.Cant say enough about our pitching today, Seattle manager Scott Servais said. I thought Iwakuma was awesome. Back and forth, really good command of all of his pitches. He elevated late in some counts, really expanded the strike zone against a really good team. Outstanding job by Kuma.In the sixth, Leonys Martin led off with a triple -- his second extra-base hit of the game -- and Cano followed with the single to left.Houston starter Lance McCullers (4-4) was strong through the first five innings, allowing two hits and striking out five before giving up the run in the sixth. He struck out eight and walked four in 5 1/3 innings.We know he is a great pitcher, Iwakuma said of McCullers. He had pitched well against us the last time we were in Houston, so we knew it was going to be a tight ballgame. You have to be patient. Wait for that run and hope not to give up the first one, and I didnt.Iwakuma allowed only a double by Jose Altuve with two outs in the first and a double by Carlos Correa in the seventh. In his last six starts, Iwakuma has pitched at least seven innings and is 5-1 during the stretch.Correa reached third, advancing to second on a groundout following his one-out double. But Iwakuma got Colby Rasmus to ground out to Cano to end the inning.Edwin Diaz replaced Iwakuma and left a runner stranded in the eighth. Steve Cishek pitched the ninth for his 22th save of the season.Marwin Gonzalez led off the ninth with a double but was caught in a rundown on Altuves sacrifice bunt attempt. Altuve made it to second on the play and stole third with Correa at the plate, but Cishek struck out Correa and Luis Valbuena to end the game.At the start of the inning when you have Marwin leading off and then into the middle of our order, we felt pretty good, Astros manager A.J. Hinch said. But you know obviously we couldnt scratch across a run at any point in the game, even in the ninth.RBI CLUBCano recorded his 20th RBI of the season against the Astros with his go-ahead single in the sixth, becoming just the sixth player in Mariners history to drive in 20 or more runs against a single team.TRAINERS ROOMAstros: OF Colby Rasmus returned to the lineup Saturday and started in left field after missing the last five games with an ear infection.Mariners: Nelson Cruz was scratched from the lineup Saturday with a sore foot after fouling a ball off it Friday and is day-to-day.

MONTREAL -- Hec Crighton Trophy winner Kyle Quinlan has opted for a coaching job at McMaster University rather than take a shot at playing quarterback in the CFL. Montreal Alouettes general manager Jim Popp said Thursday that Quinlan, who signed a three-year contract in December, will not attend training camp. Agent Darren Gill said the quarterback has taken an unspecified coaching job at McMaster University. That was news to Popp. "He just informed us he wasnt going to play," Popp said. "He gave us some reasons outside of football. "We said the door was open if he ever changed his mind." Asked what reasons were given, the GM said "only he can answer that." Quinlan, 24, was not immediately available for comment. The six-foot-three quarterback threw 19 touchdown passes to lead McMaster to an 8-0 record last season before losing to Laval in the Vanier Cup. The Woodslee, Ont., native earned the Crighton Trophy as Canadian university footballs top player and was named CIS male athlete of the year. Popp said Quinlan had madee his travel plans to Montreal and seemed eager to attend camp only two weeks ago, but "all of a sudden, he changed his mind.dddddddddddd" Canadian quarterbacks are rare in the CFL, and those who are drafted are often switched to other positions. But the Alouettes wanted to give Quinlan a chance to make the team as a quarterback. Only last week, Popp lauded the prospects deep passing ability during a pre-camp conference call. Montreals starter is 40-year-old Anthony Calvillo and the club signed veteran Quinton Porter to be the backup. They also have third-stringer Josh Neiswander as last years backup Adrian McPherson is no longer with the club. Popp said he will have to sign another quarterback before camp, which opens Sunday at Bishops University in Sherbrooke, Que. Quinlan and Acadia quarterback Kyle Graves attended Montreals camp last year but both were cut. The Alouettes also announced David Messier, former media relations chief for the InterBox boxing promotion company, has been hired as director of communications and branding. ' ' '
