Sting Stay Hot With 5-2 Win
The Seattle Sting wanted a good start from Merrill Kelly -- and he delivered one. The result was a 5-2 Seattle win over the Houston Titans at Boeing Field. Kelly, now 10-6, was the winner. In 6 innings, he gave up 4 hits, while striking out 7, walking 1, and allowing no runs. Sam Moll, credited with the save, is now 2 for 3 in save opportunities.

Ketel Marte had a big 3-run home run for the Sting in the bottom of the sixth inning. With Seattle leading 1-0 and runners on 1st and 2nd, he got a changeup from Pedro Avila and swatted a home run to left. It was his 17th home run of the season, and more importantly, it put the Sting ahead, 4-0.

"This team's hitting on all cylinders," said Sting manager Jesus Cardiel.

The Sting, at 77-37, have a comfortable 15½-game lead in their division.
