Friday was a bad-news day for the Houston Astros' pitching rotation, followed by a bright spot.
General manager Dana Brown announced that Luis Garcia will need Tommy John surgery and will miss the rest of the season.
The Astros' rotation already is thin, with Jose Urquidy on the injured list with right-shoulder discomfort and Lance McCullers Jr. working his way back from a forearm strain he suffered during spring training. The Mariners plan to start left-hander Marco Gonzales on Saturday. He has struggled against the Astros, going 2-9 with a 4.89 ERA in 14 career appearances .
On Friday, the Mariners rallied from an early four-run deficit, getting a three-run double from Kolten Wong in the fifth inning and an RBI single by Eugenio Suarez in the eighth.
