 You're with us inside the Western Washington Toyota Radio booth. Mariners and Astros. No score. Bottom of the third. Ty France will lead things off for the Mariners. Batting ninth today for the M's. He's never started a game batting ninth. This is a first. Valdez rocks, steals. That's inside. 1-0. One hit for the Mariners so far. Victor Robles with the base hit. He also stole a couple bags. Left stranded at third in the first inning.
