Josh Naylor Just Demolished the Astros With 2 Home Runs and the Mariners Swept Houston in 4 Games
The Seattle Mariners are absolutely owning the Houston Astros right now. After Josh Naylor broke out of his cold spell with two homers and five RBIs, the M's took down the Astros 6-2 on Sunday to complete a four-game sweep. This is not a fluke. The Mariners have been straight up dominant over their division rival for the last three years.
Naylor Finally Wakes Up
Naylor's been struggling early this season, but he showed up when it mattered most against Houston. Two home runs and five RBIs in a decisive victory. That is the kind of performance that snaps a cold streak fast. When your cleanup hitter starts connecting like that, the whole offense shifts into gear. The Astros had no answer for what the M's threw at them in this series.

Four games. Four wins. This sweep is just the latest chapter in Seattle's three-year dominance over Houston.

What's Next
The Mariners keep rolling. Julio is heating up after a small change to his stance, and the offense is clicking at the right time. With momentum like this and a sweep in the books, Seattle is sending a message to the rest of the league.
