Rodríguez Homers as Mariners Top Astros 3-1
Seattle keeps rolling in AL West race; Houston's offense sputters in crisp, October-style clash.
Julio Rodríguez launched a home run and Randy Arozarena added two hits as the Seattle Mariners beat the Houston Astros 3-1 on Monday night, tightening the AL West gap. The win showcased Seattle's growing credibility as contenders, with Rodríguez's power surge serving as a bellwether for their playoff hopes. Houston's lineup, meanwhile, struggled against Mariners pitching, managing just one run in a low-scoring affair that felt like October baseball in May.
