Seattle, get ready to bring the energy for Game 3 at T-Mobile Park.

FINAL: Astros 4, Mariners 2

Seattle led. Again. Yordan 脕lvarez erased that lead. Again. And the Astros take a 2-0 series advantage and head to Seattle, which will host its first baseball playoff game in two decades. T-Mobile Park will be electric, even after this disappointment.

Walking Alvarez is a thing, but not what many of you think.

鈥� Shannon Drayer (@shannondrayer)

3:40 p.m.

Curtis Rogers, Producer, Seattle Sports: So that鈥檚 what happens when you walk Alvarez

3:40 p.m.

The Mariners intentionally walk Yordan 脕lvarez and with a runner already on first. Alex Bregman whacks the next pitch into right to score Jeremy Pe帽a. Astros now lead, 4-2.

Sometimes, playing Houston must feel like heads I win, tails you lose.

3:17 p.m.

Tremendous outing for Luis Castillo. He is that dude, and it鈥檚 comforting to know he鈥檚 signed long-term.

Gotta score more than 2 runs to expect to beat the Astros. Let鈥檚 do it.

2:55 p.m.

The parallels between WC Game 2 and ALDS Games 1-2 are uncanny. Mariners just on the opposite end thus far.

鈥� Joe Fann (@Joe_Fann)

2:54 p.m.

Yordan Alvarez is the first player in MLB postseason history with multiple career go-ahead HR in the 6th inning or later when his team was trailing, each of his coming in his last 2 games off of Robbie Ray and Luis Castillo.

鈥� ESPN Stats & Info (@ESPNStatsInfo)

2:49 p.m.

Dusty Baker is having an excellent ALDS.

Game 1: He brings in Cristian Javier when trailing. Javier keeps the game close, and the Astros come back.

Game 2: He summons H茅ctor Neris with the bases loaded in 6th. Neris gets the biggest out of the game thus far; Alvarez homers.

鈥� Jon Morosi (@jonmorosi)

2:47 p.m.

Luis Castillo was not thrilled that the play wasn’t made … He dropped to his knees then put both his arms up when he arose and glared.

鈥� Daniel Kramer (@DKramer_)

2:44 p.m.

I will never hear 鈥渂loop and a blast鈥� and not think of that sequence.

Yordan is nightmare fuel.

Yordan Alvarez goes deep to grab the lead back for the Astros!

鈥� Talkin鈥� Baseball (@TalkinBaseball_)

2:40 p.m.

Yordan 脕lvarez is just ridiculous. Luis Castillo is twirling a gem, and 脕lvarez takes a 98-mph fastball with well over a foot of run outside the strike zone and hammers it into the Crawford Boxes.

Astros 3, Mariners 2, bottom of the sixth.

鈥� Jeff Passan (@JeffPassan)

2:40 p.m.

Brent Stecker, Lead Editor, Seattle Sports: Wasn’t even a strike. Yordan Alvarez is scary. You have to be on the corners all day with him. No room for error.

Astros don’t have a lefty in the pen. Raleigh getting turned around to his less painful (thumb) swing side. Also his power side. Did hit the ball hard against Valdez.

鈥� Shannon Drayer (@shannondrayer)

2:26 p.m.

Brandon Gustafson, Content Editor, Seattle Sports: Mariners have chased Valdez after 5 2/3. Chased Manoah and Gausman at 5 2/3 as well and Verlander after 4. That’s something this M’s lineup has done very well in these 4 playoff games so far.

Brent Stecker, Lead Editor, Seattle Sports: This is shaping up to turn into a late-innings bullpen battle. If Luis Castillo can keep that pitch count in great shape and leave the to need only 1-2 relievers (or none), that would be a thing that is good.

2:10 p.m.

A nice 10-pitch 5th inning for Castillo who is at just 59 pitches through 5.
