Greinke strikes out 11 to lead Diamondbacks over Astros 3-0

HOUSTON (AP) Zack Greinke struck out a season-high 11, and the Arizona Diamondbacks used a three-run seventh inning to beat the Houston Astros and Dallas Keuchel 3-0 Thursday in a matchup of AL Cy Young Award winners.

Greinke (7-3), the 2009 winner with Kansas City, allowed a season-low four hits - all singles - over seven innings and walked none. He won his fourth straight start and stopped Arizona's three-game skid.

Houston, which has won its previous five games, missed a chance to sweep the four-game, home-and-home series.

Daniel Hudson struck out two in a perfect eighth. Brad Ziegler allowed one hit in the ninth and got his franchise-record 38th straight save, his 10th this season. He has the longest active saves streak among big league relievers.
