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
Astros vs. Mariners Game Thread: Game 14, April 10, 2026 The Houston Astros (6-7) will face the Seattle Mariners (4-9) in the first game of a three-game series on Friday, April 10, 2026, at Safeco Field in Seattle. The matchup marks the Astros’ attempt to end a four-game losing streak, with the series serving as a critical test for both teams. The game will feature a matchup of right-handed starters, with Astros rookie Tatsuya Imai set to take the mound against Mariners ace Emerson Hancock. Imai, making his third career start, will look to build on his recent performance. In his first two outings, the 26-year-old Japanese import pitched 5.2 innings in Sacramento, posting a 1-0 record with a 4.32 ERA. His two starts have yielded 13 strikeouts and seven walks, showcasing his potential but also highlighting the need for consistency. The Astros will rely on Imai to counter Hancock, who has a 1-0 record against Houston with a 3.38 ERA in eight innings across two starts. This will be their third meeting of the season, with Hancock’s previous outings against the Astros proving effective. The Astros’ roster has undergone notable changes ahead of the series. Right-handed pitcher Cristian Javier, a key contributor, was placed on the 15-day injured list (retroactive to April 9) due to a grade two right shoulder strain. Outfielder Jake Meyers, recovering from a grade two right oblique strain, was sidelined for 10 days. To fill their spots, the Astros activated right-handed reliever J.P. France and outfielder Taylor Trammell from Triple-A Sugar Land. To make room on the 40-man roster, right-handed pitcher Ronel Blanco was transferred to the 60-day injured list. The series carries historical significance for the Astros, who hold a commanding 132-97 record against the Mariners in their regular-season matchups.#seattle_mariners #houston_astros #emerson_hancock #safeco_field #tatsuya_imai
