Another one in the loss column for our Seattle Mariners, dropping a 10-7 game to the Houston Astros. Man, that one stings, especially when every single game matters this deep into the season.
Another Gut Punch in Houston
You score seven runs, you should have a chance to win. Giving up ten, though? That’s just not gonna cut it, especially when you are battling for every inch. The final score of 10-7 against the Astros is a tough pill to swallow. Our pitching needs to lock it down, plain and simple. We know what this team is capable of, and letting a team hang up double-digit runs is just brutal for the guys who are out there grinding at the plate.

It’s always tough to see our Mariners drop a game, especially by a 10-7 margin. The season’s pushing on, and the team’s got to find a way to tighten things up and stack some wins. Every game counts from here on out, and we need to see that fire from the squad. Let’s get back at it.
