The Houston Astros offense dies off fast in their final game of a four game set with the Seattle Mariners, as they hand their second consecutive gentleman’s sweep. While being dominated with eight right-handers in the lineup, the bats of Kyle Tucker and Michael Brantley were very missed, although the only left-hander, Jason Castro, didn’t provide much help.

All around, the bats weren’t producing any run support, as Yusei Kikuchi took a no-hitter into the seventh inning.
