Crawford's grand slam and Raleigh's 58th homer lead Mariners to sweep over Astros
The Mariners completed a three-game sweep that gave them a three-game lead in the AL West over the Astros with six remaining.
Seattle, which has won four straight and 14 of 15, holds the second American League playoff seed by two games over AL Central-leading Detroit, which has dropped six in a row. The Mariners, looking to win the AL West for the first time since 2001, finished 8-5 against the Astros this season.
Houston is tied with Cleveland for the final AL wild card.
The Mariners jumped on Jason Alexander (4-2) early. They got things going with a bases-loaded walk with one out in the second inning before Crawford’s grand slam made it 5-0. Randy Arozarena singled before Raleigh, who was batting left-handed, connected for his home run to right field to extend the lead.
The shot came a night after Raleigh passed Ken Griffey Jr. for the franchise’s single-season home run record with his 57th homer. Griffey hit 56 in both 1997 and 1998.
Alexander allowed seven hits and seven runs while getting just four outs.
Seattle starter Logan Gilbert (6-6) yielded three hits and a run with four strikeouts in six innings.
Zach Cole and Isaac Paredes hit solo homers for the Astros.
