The Mariners completed a four-game sweep of the first place Astros with a 4-3 extra-inning win on Sunday.. That puts Seattle back into contention for the AL West title. They now trail Houston by four games, and will be 1 1/2 games behind the Oakland Athletics if Oakland’s 8-5 lead over the Angels holds up. It was a close series, Seattle outscoring Houston 20 to 13 over the four games. The Mariners timing was good, as they faced an injury depleted Houston offense. They got five strong innings from Erasmo Ramirez today, who came into the game having allowed seven home runs in 9 2/3 innings. He allowed three hits in five shutout innings. Edwin Diaz saved all four games, striking out nine in four innings and allowing one run.
The two teams play six more times, three at Seattle later in the month and then three at Houston in September.
