SAN DIEGO (AP) - Brian Moehler pitched six strong innings and
the Houston Astros scored six runs in the fourth inning en route to
a 7-1 win over the San Diego Padres on Wednesday night.

Moehler and two relievers held San Diego to five hits. San Diego
has lost 11 of its last 16 home games, and seven of eight against
the Astros dating to last season.

Moehler (5-4) struck out eight and held San Diego to four hits
in winning his third straight decision. His only mistake was
allowing Eliezer Alfonzo's homer with two outs in the second.

San Diego was two-hit by Roy Oswalt on Monday night in a 3-1
Astros win.
