The Seattle Mariners completed a four-game series sweep of the Houston Astros with a 6-2 win at T-Mobile Park on Monday. The Mariners' offense was led by first baseman Josh Naylor, who hit two early home runs to power the team to victory over the injury-riddled Astros.

Why it matters

The Astros were able to score two runs later in the game, but the Mariners' pitching and defense held firm to secure the 6-2 victory and complete the four-game sweep.
