Seattle Mariners vs. Houston Astros, second game of the series. The Astros won last night for a couple of runs. The game was tight but the Astros always had the key to get the victory. From the first inning the stars showed strength to win, the game was slow but in the end the few runs were enough. The Mariners had to wait until the third inning to score the only runs of the game for them.
