Overview
- Seattle completed a four-game sweep of Houston to extend the Astros’ losing streak to eight games and finish the road trip at 1-9.
- Before the finale, Houston placed shortstop Jeremy Peña and starter Tatsuya Imai on the injured list and recalled J.P. France, Colton Gordon and Shay Whitcomb from Triple-A.
- The slide follows a string of short starts and setbacks for Astros pitchers, with Cristian Javier and Hunter Brown on the IL, Tatsuya Imai sent home for arm fatigue, Cody Bolton leaving a start with mid-back tightness, and a league-worst surge in walks.
- Toronto put George Springer on the IL with a broken left big toe and called up Eloy Jimenez, and Max Scherzer was lifted early in his latest start as Minnesota broke the game open in the third inning.
- The Mets made stopgap moves by designating reliever Luis García for assignment and promoting Joey Gerber and Tommy Pham to cover immediate needs.
