George Springer, Jose Altuve Lead Astros to Victory over Mariners

The Houston Astros continue to dominate the Seattle Mariners after a 7-2 victory over their American League West rival on Saturday at Minute Maid Park.

Fresh off an 8-2 victory in Friday's season opener, the Astros had no problems getting their second straight victory of the season. Lance McCullers Jr., making his first start since August 2018 after having Tommy John surgery, gave the reigning AL champs an impressive outing to earn the victory.

Houston has now won 15 straight games against the Mariners dating back to June 5, 2019. This marks the team's first 2-0 start in a season since 2017.
