HOUSTON -- The Houston Dynamo scored for the first time in a month and won for the first time in nearly two months Saturday, lifting a weight off their collective shoulders. Ricardo Clark scored in the 59th minute and the Houston Dynamo snapped a seven-game winless streak with a 1-0 win over the Philadelphia Union on Saturday night. "We know whats been going on," Houston coach Dominic Kinnear said. "We have been peppered with questions over the last couple weeks about not winning. This is a proud group, and we get a little annoyed by it. ... Any time you win -- whether it is a great win or the teams played poorly and you get a little lucky -- you walk off the field with a little enjoyment out of it." Houston (7-6-5) had not won since beating D.C. United 4-0 on May 8. "Its nice to get one," said Houston goalkeeper Tally Hall, who finished with three saves. "Sometimes it is not pretty in the end. I dont think we finished the game great. You look at it, its three points and we havent had that in a while. We walk away with smiles on our faces." Clark also put an end to Houstons franchise record 388-minute scoreless streak when he headed in Jermaine Taylors cross from the left sideline from 8 yards out. Clark said Taylors service on the goal was right where he needed it to be, and he was trying to make the most of it. "Its three points," Clark said. "At the end of the day, that is all we wanted. We could have finished a couple more chances." Houston had not scored since Warren Creavalles goal at Columbus on June 1. The Dynamos previous record scoreless streak was 273 minutes in May 2007. "It just gives us our confidence and gets us back to our winning ways," Houston forward Giles Barnes said. "It gets us back up the table and puts pressure on everyone on top of us. Obviously, when you start scoring and obviously we had more chances, so the mood was a lot different." Philadelphia (7-6-6) had its five-game unbeaten streak snapped, dropping its first game since losing 5-3 at Montreal on May 25. "Youre going to win some, and youre going to lose some, especially when you try to play in these kind of conditions, third game in eight days, its just tough," Philadelphia coach John Hackworth said. "So, thought our team put out a fantastic effort, just wasnt there tonight." Philadelphias best chance came before halftime when Hall stopped Aaron Wheelers shot from the left box and Conor Caseys rebound attempt went high. Casey said the Union did not establish what they wanted to do, and in the end, they didnt do enough to get a result. "Today just wasnt a very good day in general, but I think the past month weve played pretty consistent," Casey said. "So, just get back to what we were doing and take it from there."

HOUSTON -- After six games serving as the designated hitter or as a pinch hitter off the bench, Yuli Gurriel is poised to make his debut defensively for the Astros this week against the Athletics, perhaps as early as Monday night in the series opener.Gurriel worked extensively with third base coach Gary Pettis in left fielder prior to the series finale against the Rays on Sunday in anticipation of donning a glove for the first time since the Astros (68-62) recalled him from Triple-A Fresno on Aug. 21. Gurriel will debut at either third base or in left, with the latter a more likely option given how effectively rookie Alex Bregman has wielded his glove at the hot corner.Gurriel dealt with a minor hamstring issue while the Astros completed a recent seven-game road trip in Pittsburgh, delaying his opportunity to showcase his defensive chops. Gurriel enjoyed an exceptional 15-year career in Cuba as a middle infielder, but with the Astros set at second base (All-Star Jose Altuve) and shortstop (2015 American League Rookie of the Year Carlos Correa), and with Bregman emerging, Gurriel will bounce around now that his health is no longer a big concern.Its easier for me to trust him and have him know himself, Astros manager A.J. Hinch said of deciding that Gurriel is healthy enough to play in the field. Hes been on the center stage, has been one of the best players on his team every team hes been on so he knows what its going to take and this is fulfilling a dream of his so hes not going to be frivolous with his body.The Astros will open the series with Oakland behindd rookie right-hander Joe Musgrove (1-2, 5.dddddddddddd20 ERA). Musgrove will make his first career appearance against the Athletics following five outings (four starts) after his promotion on Aug. 1.Musgrove is looking to bounce back from back-to-back subpar outings against the Orioles and Pirates having allowed 13 runs on 19 hits (including four home runs) over 9 1/3 innings.The Athletics (57-73) will counter with rookie left-hander Sean Manaea (5-8, 4.53 ERA), who made his major league debut against the Astros on April 29 in Oakland.Manaea did not record a decision in either of his two starts against the Astros, posting a 3.00 ERA while allowing four runs on nine hits and four walks with nine strikeouts in 12 innings. Manaea was sharp last Tuesday against the Indians, surrendering just one run on three hits and two walks with nine strikeouts in seven innings in a 9-1 victory in Oakland.The Athletics won their second consecutive series against a postseason contender on Sunday, beating the Cardinals 7-4 in St. Louis in the rubber match of that three-game set. Oakland also took two of three against the Indians before departing on a six-game road swing that concludes at Minute Maid Park.Were a good team, Athletics catcher Stephen Vogt said. Weve had an up-and-down season with a lot of injuries, a lot of new faces. But one thing about this group is weve taken a lot of series from some good teams. Were not going to quit or roll over. ' ' '
