Mariners' Late Rally Falls Short Against Astros in Houston

The Seattle Mariners, with a record of 17-15, faced off against the Houston Astros, who came into the game with a 12-20 record. The final score was 5-3 in favor of the Astros.

The Mariners managed to accumulate seven hits throughout the game but were only able to convert these into three runs. Despite their efforts, one error on their part contributed to their struggle to overtake the Astros. The team's performance at bat was highlighted by two home runs that accounted for a significant portion of their scoring. However, they struggled with runners in scoring position, failing to capitalize on three such opportunities which could have altered the outcome of the game.

On the pitching side, Seattle's bullpen faced challenges as evidenced by an ERA of 18.0 and a WHIP of 4.0 from relievers who entered later in the game. This contrasted sharply with their starters who maintained a more respectable ERA of 1.5 and WHIP of 0.6667 over six innings pitched.

The Astros capitalized on key moments to secure their victory, notably during a pivotal seventh inning where they scored four runs off two hits and an error by the Mariners. This surge proved decisive in establishing their lead and eventual win despite both teams having an equal number of hits (seven each).
