Mariners hang on for a 3-2 win over the Astros as Raleigh, Arozarena go deep

The Seattle Mariners claimed a 3-2 victory over the Houston Astros on Sunday night, with Cal Raleigh and Randy Arozarena each hitting a home run, according to wire service reports. Arozarena drove in the first run of the game in the first inning, while Raleigh connected in the sixth to extend the Mariners' lead to 3-1. The win gives Seattle a 9-2 advantage in their season series against Houston.

Houston took the lead when Altuve singled with two outs in the eighth inning after reliever Seranthony Domínguez tripped and fell while attempting to catch a pop-up. Domínguez, however, struck out Daulton Varsho to avoid a blown lead. Seattle's Bryan Woo pitched six strong innings, giving up only three hits and two runs while striking out five batters. Andrés Muñoz added a crucial save, walking just one batter in the ninth inning.

Houston's Hunter Brown started the game on the mound, but allowed three hits and two runs over five innings, walking five batters in the process. Brown walked three straight batters to load the bases with two outs in the fourth inning, only for Brendan Donovan to strike out and leave the Mariners' runners stranded. Jeremy Peña tied the game for Houston with a homer in the fourth inning, followed by Josh Naylor's single that led to an inning-ending double play in the sixth.

Nick Allen and Raleigh both homered in the bottom of the seventh inning, extending the Mariners' lead to 3-2. However, the Astros loaded the bases again with two outs in the inning before Bryan Abreu struck out Raleigh on a pop out. The Mariners loaded the bases once more with two outs in the eighth inning, but Nick Allen hit a go-ahead homer to give Seattle the 3-2 victory.

Both teams are off Monday, with the Mariners opening a series at Milwaukee on Tuesday night and the Astros hosting the Angels in a home series that same night.
