SEATTLE — The Seattle Mariners were just shy of a sweep Sunday at T-Mobile Park.
Marco Gonzales earned a standing ovation after another solid performance against the Houston Astros, and Ty France’s hitting streak reached 11 games. He sent in the run that tied the game at 1.
But Yordan Alvarez’s line-drive single to left field with the bases loaded gave the Astros a 2-1 lead in the top of the eighth which turned out to be the final score. The Mariners had the tying run at third, but Luis Torrens’ grounder gave way to a double play to end the game.
