Bryce Miller allowed two runs over six innings to pick up his first win since April 17, and the Seattle Mariners used a big first inning against Houston starter Framber Valdez to hold on for a 3-2 win over the Astros on Monday night. Seattle scored three times in the first off Valdez and then leaned on its pitching to make the early lead stand up. Miller did his part and then turned it over to relievers Trent Thornton, Gabe Speier and Andrés Muñoz to close out the victory.
When it comes to pitching, few have been better than the American League West leading Seattle Mariners this season. With ace-level talents Luis Castillo, Logan Gilbert and George Kirby heading the rotation, plus promising second-year big leaguers Bryce Miller and Bryan Woo, the Mariners sport arguably the toughest starting five in the league.
The wistful hope of a four-game series sweep, which was something more than unlikely, ended under a barrage of long balls. The New York Yankees delivered a painful reminder to the Mariners, specifically starter Bryce Miller, why they have been one of baseball's best teams this season and sit atop the leaderboard in home runs. The duo of Juan Soto and Aaron Judge combined to hit three homers and drive in five runs off Miller, and the Yankees added another later off the bat of Alex Verdugo to seal a 7-3 victory over the Mariners.
