HOUSTON (AP) — Alex Bregman hit a two-run homer early, and his tiebreaking RBI double in the eighth inning led the Houston Astros to a 4-2 win over the Seattle Mariners. Bregman was shaken up in a collision while scoring the Astros’ final run in the eighth, but he remained in the game. The victory snapped a three-game skid after the Astros suffered their first series sweep of the season by Oakland to start the week.
The teams continue their series Friday on KPUG. Robbie Ray will pitch for the M’s against Justin Verlander in a battle of Cy Young Award winners. It’s a 4:00 pre-game show and 5:10 first pitch.
