Pregame analysis and predictions of the Seattle Mariners vs. Houston Astros MLB game to be played on May 22, 2025 on ESPN.

Bennett Sousa was the first man out of the pen for head coach Joe Espada once Brown came out from his shortest outing of the year, and kept up the theme for this year, shutting down the Rays for two innings, allowing just two hits and striking out three.

Jonathan Aranda erased a two-run deficit in the eighth inning, and Taylor Walls hit a walk-off sacrifice fly in the ninth to complete the Rays’ come-from-behind, 3-2 victory over the Astros at George M. Steinbrenner Field.
