HOUSTON (AP) --- Cal Raleigh and Randy Arozarena homered to lead the Seattle
Mariners to a 3-2 victory over the Houston Astros on Sunday night.
Arozarena went deep in the first inning and Raleigh connected in the sixth to
make it 3-1. The victory gives the Mariners a 9-2 advantage in the season
series.
The Mariners led by a run when the Astros loaded the bases with two outs in the
eighth inning after Jose Altuve singled when reliever Seranthony Domnguez
tripped and fell trying to catch his infield pop up.
But Domnguez struck out Daulton Varsho to escape the jam.
Seattle's Bryan Woo (9-8) yielded three hits and two runs while striking out
five in six innings. Andrs Muoz walked one in a scoreless ninth for his 22nd
save.
Houston starter Hunter Brown (3-3) allowed three hits and two runs with five
walks in five innings.
Seattle made it 2-0 on a two-out RBI single by Dominic Canzone with two outs in
the third.
Brown walked three straight batters to load the bases with two outs in the
fourth but struck out Brendan Donovan to leave everyone stranded.
Jeremy Pea got the Astros within 1 when he homered to the seats in right field
to open Houston's fourth.
Josh Naylor singled to start the sixth but was caught stealing for the second
out. Raleigh homered to left field to extend the lead to 3-1. It was just the
13th homer for the struggling catcher this season after he led the majors with
60 home runs last year.
Nick Allen led off the bottom of the inning with his second homer this season
to cut the lead to 3-2.
The Mariners loaded the bases again with two outs in the seventh inning before
Bryan Abreu retired Raleigh on a pop out to end the inning.
Up n ext Both teams are off Monday. On Tuesday night, the Mariners open a series at Milwaukee and the Astros start a home series against the Angels. ___ See AP's full MLB coverage here |
