After the Mariners got off to a good start against the division rival Astros, Bryan Woo and company quickly fell apart.

Sunday wasn’t a must-win game for the Astros, but it was close. A three-game sweep at the hands of the Mariners would have seen their lead atop the American League West division dwindle to two games.

Christian Walker hit a go-ahead solo homer in the sixth inning as the Houston Astros rallied from an early three-run deficit and beat the Seattle Mariners 11-3 to avoid a series sweep.

Inexplicably, after throwing 17 pitches the night before, high-leverage reliever Bryan Abreu came in to preserve the Astros’ 11-3 lead in the eighth, going unscathed. Ryan Gusto finished the bullpen shutout of the Mariners with a scoreless ninth.

Last season was a forgettable one for Houston Astros reliever Josh Hader. In his first year with the Astros, the veteran bullpen arm recorded a 3.80 ERA and allowed 12 home runs, the most since 2019, when he gave up 15 while with the Milwaukee Brewers.
