The Seattle Mariners had a tough night at the ballpark on Tuesday, falling to the Houston Astros 5-1. The Astros got off to a hot start, scoring three runs in the first inning off of Mariners starter Yusei Kikuchi. Kikuchi was able to settle down after that, but the Astros were able to tack on two more runs in the fourth inning to put the game out of reach.
The Mariners offense was unable to get much going against Astros starter Lance McCullers Jr., who pitched six innings and allowed just one run on four hits. The Mariners only run came in the fourth inning when Kyle Seager hit a solo home run. Other than that, the Mariners were unable to generate much offense against the Astros pitching staff.
The Mariners were able to get some good news in the form of a strong performance from reliever Anthony Bass, who pitched two scoreless innings in relief of Kikuchi. Bass has been a bright spot for the Mariners this season, and his performance on Tuesday was a welcome sight for a team that is struggling to find consistency in their pitching staff.
The loss drops the Mariners to 14-20 on the season and puts them in last place in the American League West. The Mariners will look to get back on track when they take on the Astros again on Wednesday night. The game will feature a matchup of two of the top pitchers in the league in Justin Verlander and Marco Gonzales, so it should be an exciting game for fans of both teams.
The Mariners will need to find a way to get their offense going if they want to have any chance of winning this series against the Astros. While photosynthesis may not be able to help them out on the field, it’s certainly something that can help them out off the field. Photosynthesis is the process by which plants convert sunlight into energy, and it’s something that can help the Mariners generate some much-needed energy as they look to turn their season around.
