The Seattle Mariners dropped another one to the Houston Astros, a tough 10-7 final in Houston, and honestly, the sentiment that this season is likely over feels more real than ever after that one. It’s a gut punch when you see the score, especially against a team like the Astros.
A Tough Night on the Mound
Emerson Hancock took the mound for our guys, but the Astros managed to put up ten runs. Houston native Hayden Wesneski was on the bump for them, and while the M’s have smacked him around in the past, that past success just wasn’t enough to secure the win tonight. You just hate to see those numbers on the scoreboard.
Battling at the Plate
Our lineup fought hard, putting up seven runs themselves. Brock Rodden was back at shortstop, Victor Robles got another start in right field, and Julio Rodriguez was back in center. Cal Raleigh was also in there, stepping up to the plate. Despite the fight, and putting up seven runs, it just didn’t cut it against Houston’s offense.
It’s a tough pill to swallow when you know your team put up a decent fight offensively, but the pitching just couldn’t hold. While the season might be likely over, we’re still here, still watching, hoping for something to spark. You can catch the next one on Mariners.TV or tune in to Ol’ Reliable, hoping for a different outcome.
