By KRISTIE RIEKEN HOUSTON (AP) — Framber Valdez struck out a season-high 10 and allowed one run in seven innings, and rookie Joey Loperfido homered and tripled to lead the Houston Astros to a 9-1 victory over the Miami Marlins on Wednesday night. Valdez (8-5) allowed just six singles and earned his third straight win. “The curveball was a big pitch for him today,” manager Joe Espada said.
