The Seattle Mariners defeated the Houston Astros 6–2 on April 13 at T-Mobile Park, with the home team's pitching staff dominating despite modest offensive efficiency. Seattle's pitchers struck out six while allowing just seven hits and two earned runs, posting a 2.95 ERA and committing no errors on the defensive side. The Mariners generated 13 hits and two home runs to support their pitching performance, though their .658 OPS reflected inconsistent at-the-plate execution. Houston managed only seven hits with zero home runs and a single RBI, striking out six times against Seattle's arms while posting a bloated 6.50 ERA on the mound. The Astros' pitching staff surrendered all six runs on 13 hits, a stark contrast to their .805 OPS that showed their lineup had some quality at-bats despite the lopsided outcome. Seattle's defensive efficiency and pitching depth proved decisive in a game where run prevention mattered more than offensive volume. The Mariners' early-season pitching stability could anchor their rotation as the season develops.
