Mariners 8, Astros 3: Astros Endure Kazmir's Forgettable Start But Fall Late

Scott Kazmir threw 48 pitches through two innings and left the game after 98 pitches through 4.1 IP with three earned runs allowed, but the Astros hung around until they fell apart late

What Happened

Scott Kazmir did not look like himself in his start tonight, lasting just four and a third innings while throwing 98 pitches and giving up three earned runs. In a word, he was forgettable.

The 23 year old Seattle hurler needed just 83 pitches to get through six innings - including a five pitch sixth inning against the heart of the Astros' order.
