Overview
- Logan Gilbert threw seven innings with seven strikeouts and one run in Seattle's 6-1 win over Houston on Sunday, pushing the Mariners' streak to three.
- The first inning turned on a dugout-called pickoff as catcher Cal Raleigh dropped his glove to signal and first baseman Josh Naylor deked Jose Altuve off the bag.
- Home-plate umpire Clint Vondrak ruled umpire interference when Cal Raleigh’s throwing hand hit his mask, canceling Jose Altuve’s advance to third on an errant throw.
- Astros starter Cody Bolton left with back tightness, which Lookout Landing noted as the seventh injury issue for a Houston starter this season.
- Writers highlighted Gilbert's firmer four-seam fastball around 96 to 97 mph and a biting slider that drew whiffs in what they called his best start since 2024.
