Mariners Nine-Game Win Streak Snapped in Extra-Innings Heartbreaker: Bryce Millers Strong Return, Cal Raleighs Early Exit, and Bullpens Tenth-Inning Collapse

Mariners nine-game win streak against the Astros was snapped in a tough extra-innings loss, four to three. Bryce Miller returned from the injured list with a vengeance, touching 99 mph on his fastball and averaging 97.6 mph. He pitched five and a third solid innings, despite some jams.

The game was filled with delays and mishaps, including a foul ball that hit the umpires face, causing a fifteen-minute stoppage. Miller escaped a bases-loaded spot in the fifth but couldnt prevent a solo homer and late singles that opened the door for Houston to tie it up. The Mariners managed solo shots from J.P. Crawford and Luke Raley, but couldnt string enough hits together for big runs.

Cal Raleighs night ended early in the eighth after awkward plays at the plate left him grabbing his hip and side, where hes had ongoing soreness. He stumbled on a tag play and had to exit, with the Astros grabbing a lead right after on a sac fly. Fans held their breath as the Ms rallied in the ninth to tie it on walks and a Julio Rodriguez free pass.

Andres Munoz stole the show closing the ninth, fanning the side on pure sliders with eight whiffs—maybe his sharpest outing all year. But the bullpen faltered in the tenth, letting in the winning run. Manager Dan Wilson called Raleighs exit precautionary, but with his recent slump and side issues, Jhonny Peredas already on the way up just in case.

The Mariners push for the series win Thursday, but eyes stay glued on Raleighs status heading into a packed schedule—hoping that hip holds up for the long haul.
