The Houston Astros made a Framber Valdez announcement before Friday's series opener against the Seattle Mariners.

Christian Walker hit a go-ahead solo homer in the sixth inning as the Houston Astros rallied from an early three-run deficit and beat the Seattle Mariners 11-3 to avoid a series sweep.

Sunday wasn’t a must-win game for the Astros, but it was close. A three-game sweep at the hands of the Mariners would have seen their lead atop the American League West division dwindle to two games.

With Yordan Alvarez still sidelined, the Astros have a need they want to secure before the trade deadline approaches.

Christian Walker hit a tiebreaking home run in the sixth inning and the Houston Astros went on to rout the host Seattle Mariners 11-3 Sunday afternoon.

The Houston Astros have been faced with a series of bad news announcements that leave them barely clinging to the AL West lead.

Last season was a forgettable one for Houston Astros reliever Josh Hader. In his first year with the Astros, the veteran bullpen arm recorded a 3.80 ERA and allowed 12 home runs, the most since 2019, when he gave up 15 while with the Milwaukee Brewers.
