The Mariners had won 14 consecutive games before the All-Star break.
SEATTLE, WASHINGTON - JULY 22: Alex Bregman #2 of the Houston Astros bats during the seventh inning against the Seattle Mariners at T-Mobile Park on July 22, 2022 in Seattle, Washington. SEATTLE — It took three pitches to ruin a party, the type hardly hosted inside this ballpark. Patrons packed T-Mobile Park to see baseball’s hottest team try to match a franchise record.
Soft-tossing Mariners starter Marco Gonzales threw him a cutter and changeup nowhere near the strike zone. He fired a fastball to get back in the count. The 88.8 mph offering leaked over the heart of home plate. Altuve sent it 422 feet away to left-center field, sapping any life out of a lit crowd. The Mariners massacred Urquidy during three other looks at him this season. Seattle struck 27 hits and scored 15 earned runs in the 13 innings he worked — a 10.38 ERA Urquidy needed to lower. The Astros arrived in Seattle with an overworked bullpen after Thursday’s doubleheader sweep of the Yankees.
