Astros break out of offensive funk, beat Mariners 5-2
Evan Gattis and Josh Reddick each hit two-run homers and the Astros had 15 total hits in stopping the Mariners.
Even without their star middle infield tandem of Jose Altuve and Carlos Correa, it was only a matter of time before the Houston Astros broke out of their offensive funk, having not scored more than three runs in five straight games, all losses.
That time came Tuesday night at Safeco Field.
Evan Gattis gave Houston a lead in the fifth inning with a two-run homer to left field, then Josh Reddick helped seal the deal with a two-run blast to right field in the ninth inning in the Astros’ 5-2 win over the Mariners.
