Luis Castillo threw seven strong innings, Mike Ford had a bases-clearing double during a nine-run fourth for Seattle, and the Mariners beat the Houston Astros 10-1 on Friday night.
HOUSTON —
“The game was all about the big inning,” Seattle manager Scott Servais said. “Big night offensively. We had 13 hits, but more importantly, eight walks. We did a really good job of controlling the strike zone tonight.” “Good job up and down the lineup,” Servais said. “I thought tonight was a good example of passing the baton, keeping the line moving. Our guys did a good job.”
“I just felt a little more confident having that big lead, going out there and just doing my job,” Castillo said through a translator. Seattle has won six of seven to climb over .500 for the first time since June 2. The Mariners moved within four games of second-place Houston in the AL West.
