Overview

  • Seattle has won 13 of its past 14 games and took the first two in Houston to clinch the season series, leaving seven regular-season games remaining.
  • Cal Raleigh hit his 57th home run to set a Mariners single-season record and extend the MLB mark for a switch-hitter in one season.
  • Logan Gilbert is slated to start the finale for Seattle after a winning outing earlier in the week and a strong September stretch.
  • Jason Alexander gets the ball for Houston, which shares an 84-71 record with Cleveland but sits outside the final wild-card spot on a tiebreaker.
  • Bryan Woo and George Kirby blanked the Astros over 11 combined innings with 14 strikeouts in the first two games, and manager Joe Espada urged hitters to attack the zone.
