The Seattle Mariners won the season series against the Houston Astros, taking their final meeting of the year against the reigning World Series champions.
The Mariners are all but officially out of the playoff chase, but they can at least take that nugget into the offseason, and they’ll watch the Astros in the playoffs knowing they went bullpening and handed Houston a 9-0 loss on Wednesday.
The Mariners (84-68) got home runs from Mitch Haniger, Kyle Seager and Guillermo Heredia, two Robinson Cano doubles and a combination of pitchers Matt Festa, Casey Lawrence, Adam Warren, Shawn Armstrong, Zach Duke, Justin Grimm and Roenis Elias combined for the shutout.
