The Seattle Mariners, with a record of 31-27, faced off against the Houston Astros, who came into the game with a 25-32 record. The final score stood at 4-0 in favor of the Astros.

The game unfolded at T-Mobile Park, where both teams showcased their defensive skills under partly cloudy skies. Despite the Mariners' efforts to ignite their offense, they were held scoreless throughout nine innings. The team managed only four hits and failed to convert any opportunities into runs. On the other hand, the Astros capitalized on their nine hits by scoring four runs across several innings.

The Mariners struggled offensively with an average of .133 and an on-base percentage (OBP) of .235 for this game. They had thirty-four plate appearances but could not manage to drive in any runs or secure extra-base hits. Their performance left sixteen runners on base (LOB), highlighting missed opportunities during crucial moments.

Pitching for the Mariners showed some resilience despite the loss. The bullpen was particularly effective, allowing only one hit over three innings pitched and maintaining an earned run average (ERA) of 0.0 for this segment of the game. However, overall pitching saw four earned runs over nine innings with a WHIP (Walks plus Hits per Inning Pitched) of 1.1111.

In contrast, Spencer Arrighetti from the Astros secured his third win of the season by keeping Mariners hitters at bay through effective pitching that contributed significantly to his team's victory.
