Mariners hammer Verlander for 4 HRs in 6-1 win over Astros

Seattle Mariners' Julio Rodriguez is greeted at the dugout by Ty France, center, as Houston Astros catcher Martin Maldonado waits, after Rodriguez hit a home run that scored France during the first inning of a baseball game Friday, May 27, 2022, in Seattle. – Rookie Julio Rodríguez hit the first of Seattle’s four home runs off Houston ace Justin Verlander, and the Mariners thumped the Astros 6-1 on Friday night.

Rodríguez got the Mariners started with a two-run opposite field homer in the first inning on the first pitch he saw from Verlander. Four batters later, Lewis unloaded with his first of the season, also a two-run homer. Lewis’ long ball was estimated at 441 feet and was his first since May 28 last year before suffering a knee injury that required surgery and forced the 2020 AL Rookie of the Year to miss the rest of the season.

Verlander started the night with a scoreless streak at 19 innings — one off his career-best — and a major league-leading 1.22 ERA. The scoreless streak ended after three batters, and his ERA ended the night at 2.03.
