MLB: Pittsburgh 10, Houston 7

PITTSBURGH (UPI) -- Ryan Doumit had a two-run homer and Xavier Nady two hits and two RBI Monday to lead the Pittsburgh Pirates to a 10-7 win over the Houston Astros.

Adam LaRoche was 2-for-2 with a triple, two walks and an RBI and Nate McLouth hit a solo homer for the Pirates, who ended a three-game losing streak.

Denny Bautista (2-2) got the win with 2 2/3 perfect innings in relief. He also got his first MLB hit and RBI.

Bautista came on in relief of Phil Dumatrait, who was reinstated from the disabled list earlier Monday and gave up seven runs on nine hits in 3 1/3 innings.

Runelvys Hernandez (0-3) lost his third straight start for the Astros, after allowing 10 runs on 13 hits in four innings.

Carlos Lee led Houston's offense with a two-run homer and three RBI.
