There. The Mariners won’t go winless this season.
After opening the season with three close losses, the Mariners got RBI singles in the ninth inning Thursday night from Jarrod Dyson and Jean Segura in pulling out a 4-2 victory over the Houston Astros.
That late-night flight to Los Angeles figured to be a little easier. The Mariners open a three-game weekend series Friday against the Angels in Anaheim.
Danny Valencia started the winning rally with a one-out walk against Astros closer Ken Giles on a borderline full-count pitch.
After Taylor Motter replaced Valencia as pinch-runner, Giles hit Carlos Ruiz with a first-pitch slider.
