HOUSTON — The Houston Astros will have to make some decisions about their rotation soon with ace Dallas Keuchel nearing a return from the disabled list.

The way Brad Peacock has been pitching lately, he’s going to make those decisions much more difficult.

Evan Gattis homered twice to back up a solid start by Peacock and help the Astros to a 6-2 victory over the Seattle Mariners on Tuesday night.
