Mariners @ Astros, May 12, 2026

The return of Imai

No score after one

And Imai picks up where he left off and walks the leadoff hitter in the second.

And it’s 2-0 Mariners.

I’ll go ahead and say Imai won’t opt out of his deal

It doesn’t look to me like Imai got more comfortable during his time away.

He throws fucking puss. What on earth did they see in this guy?

Dezenzo with a 1-out double followed by an RBI single by Shewmake.

End of two…2-1 Mariners

Altuve works a leadoff walk in the third

Alvarez walks, two on for Paredes

Paredes pops to shallow CF

Walker doubles to LF, Altuve scores, Alvarez to 3B

Two RISP for Smith…

Smith carved up

Now up to Dezenzo. I’m not terribly optimistic.

Good grief. That last pitch was in the dirt. In the opposing batter’s box.

Dezenzo embarrassed on strikes

Astros leave a pair in scoring position, but somehow manage to scratch out a run on a couple of walks and a double.

2-2 after three

You have Cam Smith and Zach Dezenzo hitting in the two biggest RBI spots on your lineup. You’ve scored a week’s worth of runs already this game. Quit being greedy.

I told my wife that the first coaching change that needs to be made is to onboard an electroshock specialist to start getting the hitters to pay attention to the strike zone.
