The Seattle Mariners' hopes for postseason play were dashed once again, marking the 22nd time in 23 years they will miss the playoffs. Their season ended following a brief glimmer of hope with an 8-1 victory over the Houston Astros, highlighted by defensive errors from the Astros.

Shay Whitcomb, filling in for resting veterans, committed four errors during the game, a rare occurrence in recent MLB history. Despite the win, the Mariners were eliminated from contention the following day as other teams clinched playoff spots.
