Mariners Edge Astros 7-6 on Rookie Cole Young Walk-off

The Houston Astros avoided a series sweep by defeating the Seattle Mariners 11-3 on Sunday, highlighted by Christian Walker's go-ahead solo home run and Taylor Trammell's two-run double. The Astros rallied from an early 3-0 deficit, with key contributions from Hunter Brown and reliever Kaleb Ort, while Mariners' starter Bryan Woo struggled after a strong start. Earlier in the series, Mariners rookie Cole Young emerged as a clutch performer, delivering a walk-off single in the 11th inning of Saturday's game to secure a 7-6 victory over the Astros. Young, just shy of his 22nd birthday, has quickly become a key player for Seattle, notching multiple walk-off hits and maintaining a strong hitting streak. The Mariners showed resilience despite bullpen struggles and defensive miscues, including a wild pitch that allowed a tying run in the eighth inning. The series showcased standout performances on both sides, with the Astros extending their lead in the AL West while the Mariners displayed promising young talent.
