“*You walked someone to face me? That was a mistake.*” – Singleton
We were fortunate to get another pitch that might have struck Jon out looking, but he didn’t miss his pitch to hit that gave us the lead.
Kikuchi only made one mistake, but looked solid yet again and the bullpen followed him and did their job shutting the game down.
Magic Number: **5**

Astros magic number
Singleton has earned his spot as far as I’m concerned
Still undefeated in Kikuchi starts!
Hell of a catch by J-Hey.

6 IP 5H 1ER 9K’s kikuchi has been a savior
At this point I’m kind of hoping we lose a Kikuchi start before the PS just to get it out of the way but…NAH.
A win is a win! Magic number down to 5!
Another Kikuchi start, another W for the Astros!
No ground lost, magic number down.
Nice
Thank God!!!
Thank you Big Jon!
Sluggish bats. Still got the win. It’s ok I’m going tomorrow—my record is 5-1 in attendance 😎

New reaction pic just dropped
Pst pst pst. Hey kitty kitty!
That’s my first basemen🥺
About a month and a half ago, Dana Brown made a trade that would earn the ire of an entire fanbase.
Let Dana Cook, y’all.
Win is a win and it keeps the Ms at 5

Beautiful plays by both Big Jon and Heyward! Kikuchi killed it as well
Kikuchi had the best performance of any Japanese player on this day. No other Japanese player had a better day than Kikuchi did. No other.
An absolutely Singletonian win!
We really need to figure out the offense before playoffs.

Magic Number 5. The great thing is it cant increase. Just keeps going down
Mariners sub complaining about ump screwing the Angels on that ball call to Big Jon. Yes it was a gift, but if they only knew how many of those calls never go our way!
Kikuchi wasn’t as sharp as he usually is but still had 9Ks and we are still undefeated when he starts!
A win is a win!
After all that, we won. Hopefully tomorrow will be more energetic and fun.
A no,decision,for Kikuchi, but not a loss; great performance !
Glad we won, but 3-17 from the top 6 of our lineup…oof. They need to figure some things out.
76-51, still the best in the league, since the taco tour
Doomscrolling the Mariners subreddit, they have given up.
Let’s win tomorrow, and let’s see those bats come alive ! So,so many “almost” HR’s at the warning track. Let’s get em over !
Shoot it!
John Singleton is my first baseman. If he keeps fucking around, I’m buying his jersey!! LFG, ASTROS!!!!!
Kikuchi’s translator looks like a stuffed animal.

Finn for the win!
