Reds rally past Astros to maintain winning streak Jul 26th 2012, 04:06 Thu Jul 26, 2012 12:06am EDT (Reuters) - The Cincinnati Reds rallied in the final inning to extend their winning streak to seven games with a 5-3 victory over the basement-dwelling Houston Astros on Wednesday. The streaking Reds held a 2-0 advantage in the top of the eighth but allowed the home team to overtake them in the bottom half of the inning with the go-ahead run gifted to the Astros on a pair of throwing errors. Cincinnati retaliated with three runs in the ninth, getting a two-RBI double from Drew Stubbs and another run-scoring double by Jay Bruce to fight off baseball's worst team and complete a three-game series sweep. Houston (34-65) suffered a second consecutive blown lead in the final inning to register their ninth straight loss, while the Reds (58-40) were able to maintain a 2 1/2-game cushion in the National League Central over second-place Pittsburgh.
