 HOUSTON (AP) - Jeff Bagwell hit a tiebreaking two-run homer and Roy Oswalt pitched seven strong innings to lead the Houston Astros to their fourth straight win, 5-2 over the Cincinnati Reds on Sunday.
Bagwell homered in the fifth to give Houston a 4-2 lead and Morgan Ensberg followed with a solo shot for the Astros, who won their series-record 11th consecutive game — eight last season — against Cincinnati. Houston won 10 straight against their longtime division rival in 2003.
Russ Springer pitched a hitless eighth and Brad Lidge got the three outs for his third save in the last four games.
