Astros Beat Mariners 4-2 in Game 2 of ALDS: 4 Winners, 4 Losers. Hint: One of the winners might be a guy named Yordan.
Whatever superstition you had in game one — wearing a bucket hat you don't really like, setting out an Alex Bregman candle in front of a glowing TV no one is watching, or whatever — you must have used it again in game two because the Astros posted a 4-2 win over the Mariners to take a commanding 2-0 lead in the five-game series that now shifts to Seattle for game three on Saturday.
It wasn't the most beautiful game with mistakes and walks and probably a little too much tension for Astros fans, but the result was the same, an Astros win.It must be incredibly frustrating to face this team. In one game, their pitching struggles, but they come back and walk you off. In another, they provide killer defense and just enough pitching to fend you off for nine innings. No matter what teams try to do, the Astros just keep pecking away, game after game.
It's not as if the Mariners have been bad on the bump. Luis Castillo went seven innings and only gave up three runs. But, he is their ace. They have already thrown their best pitchers in this series — starting and in relief — and the Astros have just been better. If you're the M's, not sure what you do about it.The Astros weren't exactly grooving fastballs. In fact, they were all over the place scattering seven walks over five pitchers.
