Canzone's first career grand slam sparks Mariners' 10-2 rout of the Astros

HOUSTON (AP) --- Dominic Canzone hit his first career grand slam and Randy
Arozarena went 4 for 4 with a homer and three RBIs to lead the Seattle Mariners
to a 10-2 rout of the Houston Astros on Tuesday night.
Canzone drove in a run with a sacrifice fly in the ninth to set his career high
with five RBIs. Arozarena, who doubled twice, tied a career high with his four
hits and the three RBIs tied his season best.
It's Seattle's ninth straight win over the Astros, which extends a franchise
record.
The Mariners jumped on Tatsuya Imai (1-1) for five hits and six runs in just
four innings as his struggles continued in his return after sitting out more
than a month with arm fatigue.
Imai has a 9.24 ERA in four starts after signing a three-year, $54 million
contract with the Astros following eight professional seasons in Japan.
The game was tied to start the fourth when Imai hit Arozarena and Luke Raley
with pitches before walking J.P. Crawford to load the bases. Canzone sent
Imai's next pitch into the seats in right field to put Seattle on top 6-2.
Seattle's Cal Raleigh singled in the seventh to snap a 0-for-38 slump, which
was the longest hitless streak in the majors this season. He scored on a double
by Arozarena that made it 8-2 and added another single in the ninth inning.
Mariners starter Bryan Woo (3-2) allowed four hits and two runs with nine
strikeouts in six innings for the win.
Christian Walker and Braden Shewmake both drove in a run for the Astros, who
dropped their fourth straight game.
Raleigh walked to open the second inning before Arozarena homered off the wall
in left field to give the Mariners a 2-0 lead.
Zach Dezenzo hit a one-out double in the bottom of the inning and Shewmake's
single cut the lead to 2-1.
Woo walked Jose Altuve and Yordan Alvarez with no outs in the third before the
Astros tied it on a one-out RBI double by Walker.
