With a sweep and only with a sweed, the Astros pass the Seattle Mariners this weekend. Apart from that, only the angels of Los Angeles were historically worse when they are confronted in Houston. Seattle is 128-91, and this does not even include Houston’s three-game swing in the Alds 2022.

Even if you thought about what Houston could Do this series, you still sit in number two in a surprisingly weak Al West division. If you were a playoff team, if the off -season starts today, you can ask … no. You wouldn’t do it. It would be the Mariners, the Yankees and everyone from the Al center (with the exception of the obvious omission of the Chicago White Sox).

The last time Houston and Seattle met on the field was 7th to 9th April at the beginning of this season, with the MS two out of three years. The lonely Astros victory was in the middle game on April 8th.

In this game, Ryan Gusto (1: 0, 1.13) won a 2-2 win in Houston in Houston after a very solid start by Framber Valdez. (Six IP, two goals, no runs, a walk, eight ks). RBI single from Victor Caratini drove home with an out in the 12th. Cam Smith opened the gate in the seventh value with an RBI stripe to score Yainer Díaz. In half of the frame, the Mariners answered with a Luke Raley RBI single.

To be honest, just talking to the vet boys help me to deal with such things. Obviously it is part of the game, everyone has to deal with it. -Cam Smith in dealing with a mini-slump to open the season

Seattle will play 10-game road trip with today’s Matchup in the seventh game of a season high (binding). In their last 12 games, they were swept by the Toronto Blue Jays, losing two of three to the New York Yankees, sweeping San Diego Padres and defeating the white Sox-time times.

Beat the ball hard every time. Found the barrel a lot, especially the last time, and that was a big elevator for us. – Dan Wilson on Tavares
