Seattle Mariners Defeat Astros 10-2 in Dominant Performance Dominic Canzone hit his first career grand slam and Randy Arozarena went 4 for 4 with a home run and three RBIs to lead the Seattle Mariners to a 10-2 victory over the Houston Astros on Tuesday night. The win extended the Mariners’ franchise-record nine-game winning streak against the Astros, marking the longest such streak in team history. The Mariners jumped on Astros pitcher Tatsuya Imai (1-1) for five hits and six runs in the first four innings. Imai, returning from a month-long absence due to arm fatigue, struggled with his mechanics and posted a 9.24 ERA in four starts since joining the Astros. The Mariners’ offensive surge began in the fourth inning when the game was tied. Imai hit Arozarena and Luke Raley with pitches before walking J.P. Crawford to load the bases. Canzone then launched a grand slam into the right-field seats, giving Seattle a 6-2 lead. Seattle’s Cal Raleigh snapped a 0-for-38 slump, the longest hitless streak in the majors this season, with a single in the seventh inning. His hit scored on a double by Aroz, making it 8-2. Raleigh added another single in the ninth inning. Arozarena’s four hits tied his career high, and his three RBIs matched his season best. Canzone’s five RBIs marked a career high, with his grand slam and a sacrifice fly in the ninth inning contributing to the rout. Mariners starter Bryan Woo (3-2) pitched six innings, allowing four hits and two runs while striking out nine batters. The Astros’ offense managed only two runs, with Christian Walker and Braden Shewmake each driving in a run. Walker tied the game in the third inning with an RBI double, but the Mariners’ dominance proved too much. The Astros’ four-game losing streak continued, with their struggles on the mound evident.#seattle_mariners #houston_astro #tatsuya_imai #dominic_canzone #randy_arozarena
Mariners Challenge Astros to Care Bear Staring Contest, Bring Meatball Cannon The Seattle Mariners delivered a dominant performance against the Houston Astros on May 13, 2026, securing a 10-2 victory that extended their nine-game winning streak against the Astros since September 2025. The game, played at Daikin Park, featured standout plays from multiple players, including a career grand slam from designated hitter Dominic Canzone and a resilient pitching effort from Bryan Woo. The contest began with tension as Astros starter Tatsuya Imai struggled to find his rhythm. In the fourth inning, after J.P. Crawford’s four-pitch walk loaded the bases with no outs, Imai faced a prolonged delay due to a mound visit by pitching coach Josh Miller. The delay, which included a back-and-forth exchange with home plate umpire Jim Wolf, ultimately proved inconsequential as Canzone capitalized on the chaos. Facing a 87-mph slider, Canzone launched a 105.5-mph grand slam into the right field seats, marking his first career home run. The blast gave the Mariners a 6-2 lead and shifted the momentum in their favor. Imai’s performance had been inconsistent prior to the game. His previous start against the Mariners on April 10 had been disastrous, as he retired only one batter and walked four before being pulled after 37 pitches. He later spent a month on the injured list due to arm fatigue, returning for this start. Despite the early struggles, Imai managed to limit damage before Canzone’s grand slam, allowing a two-run homer to Randy Arozarena. Arozarena had an impressive night himself, going 4-for-4 with a triple shy of the cycle and contributing to the rally by being hit by a pitch after a successful ABS challenge. Bryan Woo, the Mariners’ starting pitcher, provided critical support with six innings of work.#seattle_mariners #bryan_wo #houston_astro #dominic_canzone #josh_miller
