Hunter Brown got his turn with a chance to take the deciding game in a three-game affair with the Seattle Mariners. For his part, he was more than up to the task, pitching six innings of shutout ball, walking zero, allowing two hits, and collecting six innings worth of outs (including three strikeouts). He got 68-of-98 pitches over the plate, compared to just 57-of-100 by opposing starter Luis F Castillo, and faced just the two over minimum.
Houston scored three runs early on RBI-singles from Jake Meyers, Cam Smith, & Jose Altuve in the second inning.
