The Seattle Mariners secured a 2-1 walk-off victory over the Houston Astros on Wednesday night, with J.P. Crawford's sacrifice fly driving in Jonatan Clase in the 10th inning. This win follows a 4-2 victory on Tuesday, where the Mariners scored three runs in the eighth inning with some chaos ball and Ryne Stanek closed out the game against his former team. The Mariners now lead the series 2-0 and have won four consecutive games. The Astros, despite a strong performance from Justin Verlander, have struggled offensively, scoring in only one inning for six consecutive games and are now 5.5 games behind the Mariners in the standings, after having battled back to 3.5 games behind.

Sac-fly RBI to right by Crawford! Clase scores with eas from 3rd. GAME OVER! Mariners win it 2-1 in the 10th! https://t.co/mh9ttsMwGY
Astros lose 2-1 in 10. Wasted an excellent outing by Verlander. Another game in which they scored in one inning. Hitters have been terrible. M’s can sweep Thursday afternoon. They’re 3-6 in their last 9 games.
FINAL: M’s 2, Astros 1. J.P. Crawford with a deep sac fly to right field to score free runner Jonatan Clase from third, and M’s walk it off.
J.P. Crawford is the man of the hour on a 10th inning walk-off sac-fly and the Mariners beat the Astros, 2-1 in a thriller. Kirby and the bullpen were excellent. They survived Verlander. They can sweep Houston tomorrow. 4 wins in a row. What a ballgame. Classic.
The Mariners scored three runs on a little chaos ball in the eighth and Ryne Stanek shut the door on his former team in the ninth as Seattle rallied for a 4-2 win over the Astros Tuesday. “Mariners baseball, right?” Updated game story from @RyanDivish: https://t.co/Dw8Ci6IBGO

The Astros didn’t want back Stanek and he just humiliated them in the 9th. Actually, they humiliated themselves with a wretched 8th, 3 awful at-bats in the 9th and another game with an an anemic offense. M’s come from behind and win 4-2 and lead series 2-0.
The Mariners take the first two games from the Houston Astros. The Astros battled all the way back to 3.5 games out of first place behind the Mariners. They are now 5.5gb and have scored runs in only ONE INNING for 6 consecutive games. Wow.
Mariners take the lead with some chaos! https://t.co/o2UyH9Av3b
