The Seattle Mariners have had a difficult season, but the team’s struggles were highlighted when the Houston Astros returned to Seattle for a three-game series. The Astros had won the previous five games against the Mariners, and the Mariners had just ended a nine-game losing streak.
The Mariners have been in a rebuilding phase for the past few years, and this season has been no exception. The team has struggled to find consistency, and they have been unable to put together a winning streak. The Astros, on the other hand, have been one of the best teams in baseball this season. They have been led by their powerful offense and their strong pitching staff.
The three-game series between the two teams was a chance for the Mariners to prove that they could compete with one of the best teams in baseball. Unfortunately, the Mariners were unable to do so. They lost all three games, and were outscored by a combined score of 22-9.
The Mariners’ struggles were highlighted during the series, as the Astros’ offense was able to take advantage of the Mariners’ pitching. The Astros scored at least five runs in each game, and their hitters were able to take advantage of mistakes made by the Mariners’ pitchers.
The Mariners’ struggles this season have been well documented, and this series was a reminder of how far the team still has to go in order to become competitive again. The team has some promising young players, but they are still a few years away from being able to compete with the best teams in baseball.
The Mariners will look to turn things around in the second half of the season, but it will be an uphill battle. The team will need to find more consistency in order to be successful, and they will need to find ways to win close games. If they can do that, then they may be able to put together a winning streak and make a run at the playoffs.
