Mariners catch Astros in the AL West after beating Baltimore for their 8th straight win

“I don't think anyone's paying attention to that,” right-hander George Kirby said. Kirby led Seattle to its eighth straight win Tuesday night, 1-0 over the Baltimore Orioles, and about 90 minutes after he spoke in the clubhouse, the Mariners caught Houston in the AL West. Seattle is starting a road trip that also includes matchups with the Mets and Phillies.
