Fans filled Safeco Field with anticipation Tuesday night. With both 2B Jose Altuve and SS Carlos Correa on the disabled list, the Mariners looked to take advantage of a Houston team on a 5-game losing skid. After an exciting 2-0 win the night before, Mariners fans were confident in their hometown team.
Long story short, Tuesday night was not the night for Seattle. Despite Houston’s struggles, scoring just 2 runs in a game makes it hard to win. Jean Segura’s home run and an RBI single by Mitch Haniger provided the lone runs for the Seattle offense.
Mike Leake took the bump for Seattle to face Houston’s Charlie Morton.
