The only saving grace for the Mariners: The Astros (85-71) also failed to complete a sweep, blowing a four-run lead at home to the Los Angeles Angels in a 9-8 loss. Astros slugger Yordan Alvarez, certified Mariner Menace, left the game with a knee injury, the extent of which was not immediately clear.

Julio Rodriguez had four hits and four RBIs, and the wild card-chasing Seattle Mariners beat the Texas Rangers 8-4
