On Jackie Robinson Day, the Astros had one of the worst combinations in baseball as their hitters were off and their pitchers plummeted. As a result, the Mariners defeated Houston 11-1, the second consecutive loss for the Astros. They recorded only five hits and were dominated by Mariners’ starter Marco Gonzales.
While Gonzales was cruising through his seven innings of four-hit, one-run ball, Jake Odorizzi was struggling for Houston. The veteran right-hander took his first loss of the season after throwing 4 1/3 innings, eight hits, four earned runs, and giving up one home run to Eugenio Suárez
Only four of Houston’ nine starters register a hit and only Yuli Gurriel had a multi-hit performance.
