Mariners snap 15-game losing streak to Astros By Kristie Rieken AP Sports Writer HOUSTON — Kyle Lewis hit a tiebreaking two-run single in the eighth inning to lift the Seattle Mariners over the Houston Astros 7-6 on Sunday, snapping a 15-game losing streak in the series. The Mariners trailed by 1 entering the eighth before Shed Long Jr.’s run-scoring single tied it at 5 with one out. Long stole second base with two outs before Lewis, who homered in the fi rst two games, knocked a ball thrown by Chris Devenski (0-1) into right fi eld to score two and put the Mariners on top. “I really thought our young players were in tune to the game today,” manager Scott Servais said. “They were thinking ahead and that’s a good sign. That means they’re right where they should be.” Seattle went 1-18 against Houston last season and lost the fi rst two games of this season. Dan Altavilla (1-0) pitched a scoreless eighth. Taylor Williams allowed a two-out, RBI, ground-rule double to Michael Brantley in the ninth before striking out Alex Bregman for his fi rst career save. Houston starter Zack Greinke came two outs from a no-hitter in his last regular season start, which was against Seattle on Sept. 25. On Sunday, Lewis spoiled his bid much earlier, singling with two outs in the fi rst. Kyle Seager doubled to score Lewis before scoring on a single by Evan White to make it 2-0. BAKER BREWERS SUMMER BASEBALL Baker 16U team splits doubleheader, 18U squad goes 2-2 By Corey Kirk ckirk@bakercityherald.com ing juniors Connor Chastain and Silas Carter. Baker won the opener 8-4. In the second game, however, Baker struggled to get out of the gate. After allowing eight runs in the fi rst two innings, the Brewers were forced to play catch up for the remainder of the game. Baker was able to cut the lead be- hind a collective effort but the rally fell just short in a 9-8 loss. After dropping both ends of a doubleheader Tuesday against Pendleton, the Baker Brewers 16 and under summer baseball team returned to the diamond by taking on the Wallowa Valley Cougars in a twinbill Friday at Enterprise. In game one, incoming Baker freshman Paul Hobson took the mound and never left, pitching the entire game. Allowing just four runs, 18U team wins 2, loses 2 Hobson gained support offensively After splitting games against the through extra base hits from incom- Hermiston Bulldogs earlier in the week, the 18U Brewers team faced off against The Dalles Riverhawks and the Churchill Lancers, playing each team once on both Saturday and Sunday. In Saturday’s opener against The Dalles, 2020 BHS graduate Sam McCauley led off with a triple, and fellow graduate Spencer Shirtcliff reached base and stole second. After McCauley scored on a single by incoming senior Mason Van Arsdall, Shirtcliff scored on a sacri- fi ce fl y from fellow 2020 graduate Spencer Smith. Consistent hitting continued throughout the game as Baker won 11-3. Against Churchill Baker’s offense struggled, and the Brewers fell behind early. Baker scored twice in the fourth inning on hits by incoming seniors Jake Wright and Logan McCluskey, but the Lancers prevailed, 9-2. Sunday’s game followed a similar script, as the Brewers beat The Dalles and then lost to Churchill. Against The Dalles, incoming senior Zander Arriaga held the Riverhawks at bay after a slow start on the mound, and timely hits from Wright, McClusky and Hayden Younger helped Baker to a 15-8 win. The Lancers continued their of- fensive success in their second game against the Brewers later Sunday. The Brewers’ lone run in a 5-1 loss was by Van Arsdall, who reached base after being hit by a pitch. This week the 16U team will travel to Hermiston today and play host to La Grande Friday at 5 p.m. The 18U team will play host to Pendleton on Wednesday at 5 p.m. TREASURE VALLEY STEEL, INC.
