HOUSTON, July 6 (UPI) -- Wandy Rodriguez hurled a complete-game four-hit shutout Friday night as the Houston Astros beat the New York Mets, 4-0.
The only run Rodriguez would need scored on an RBI single by Craig Biggio in the bottom of the third inning.
Houston added three runs in the fifth as Lance Berkman hit a two-run homer, his 15th round-tripper of the season, and Hunter Pence hit an RBI double.
Pence had two of the seven hits for the Astros, who stopped a two-game skid.
Rodriguez (6-7) walked one batter and fanned eight in his second straight strong effort. He held Colorado to three hits in seven innings in a 12-0 rout Sunday.
Four players had one hit for the NL East-leading Mets, who have dropped three of four.
Losing pitcher Mike Pelfrey (0-7) yielded four earned runs and seven hits in six innings, with two walks and five strikeouts.
