Justin Verlander turned in a vintage performance, taking a shutout into the ninth inning as the Houston Astros defeated the host Seattle Mariners 5-1 on Monday night to extend their lead in the raceJustin Verlander turned in a vintage performance, taking a shutout into the ninth inning as the Houston Astros defeated the host Seattle Mariners 5-1 on Monday night to extend their lead in the race for the American League's third and final wild-card playoff berth.
Verlander retired the side in order seven times. The 40-year-old right-hander, the reigning AL Cy Young Award winner, was charged with one run on three hits and one walk in eight-plus innings. He struck out eight, one shy of his season high. Webb went the distance, giving up a first-inning run but no others. He allowed nine hits, striking out seven without issuing a walk.
Marcus Semien also homered for the Rangers, who extended their winning streak to six games. Gray picked up his first win since Aug. 11, allowing five hits while striking out seven.
