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.

Heather Knight (3-15) and Anya Shrubsole (2-12) ran amok as India struggled to just 90-8 - their lowest score ever in the tournament.But from 42-1 England faltered, then nearly imploded as Harmanpreet Kaur (2-20) and Ekta Bisht (4-21) worked over Englands middle-order - each taking two wickets in as many balls to spark panic.Both Danni Wyatt and Jenny Gunn were run out with victory in sight, making it 87-8, before Shrubsole sliced the winning boundary with an over in the bank.Late drama seemed unlikely when Vellaswamy Vanitha sliced the third ball of the match, from Knight, high to Lydia Greenway at mid-on.Nat Sciver was rather less secure under the high ball, dropping Smriti Mandhana on six off Shrubsoles second ball, but the seamer took matters into her own hands in her following over and bowled the teenager leg stump for 12.Shikha Pandey was also the beneficiary of a life - shelled at deep cover by Wyatt when she had just three, again off Shrubsoles bowling - and then was given not out on seven when she gloved Rebecca Grundys second ball behind to Sarah Taylor, who took a decent low catch.Englands disappointment was short-lived as Katherine Brunt sprinted around the mid-wicket boundary to complete a fine running catch and send Pandey on her way.Soon aftter skipper Mithali Raj (20) carved Sciver to Greenway at backward point to make it 47-4 and five runs later Veda Krishnamurthy lost her off stump to Knight, playing all around the ball.ddddddddddddWith half the side gone Kaur (26) was forced to rebuild with the lower-order - Anuja Patil (13) showing some gumption after Jhulan Goswami toe-ended a sharp chance through to Taylor, who did well to stay low and hold the chance.England lost Edwards early in the chase - the captain unable to follow-up her fifty against Bangladesh with another as she miscued Bisht to wicketkeeper Sushma Verma via a leading edge.Tammy Beaumont (20) struck the ball crisply as she added 32 for the second wicket with Taylor - striking three boundaries in a row off Kaur before top-edging to mid-wicket.Taylor fell to the very next ball, the victim of a smart Verma stumping, and Sciver only just survived the hat-trick ball which just beat leg stump through the gate.Sciver (19) and player-of-the-match Knight (eight) briefly steadied the innings before Bisht bagged a brace - Greenway falling lbw attempting to lap her first ball after the advancing Knight was stumped, beaten by one that dipped on her.When Sciver drove to Raj at short cover England still only needed 20 runs off 6.3 overs with four wickets in hand but a lack of finishing firepower nearly cost Edwards side dear.Watch highlights of England Women against India Women from 6pm on Sky Sports 2.
