What is the story about?
Good
morning! Yesterday’s Mariners win over the Houston Astros featured Logan Gilbert’s best outing of the year. Through seven innings, his seven strikeouts and one earned run on four hits powered the Mariners to a 6-1 victory over the Astros, and their third win in a row. They will go for the elusive “mop” of the Astros today (sweeping a four game series) as George Kirby takes the mound for the 1:10 PM start. Who do you think has been the best Mariners performer in this series so far?
