While Houston is still buzzing over Yordan Alvarez's home run that walked off the Mariners in Game 1 of the American League Division Series on Tuesday, the mood isn't nearly so sweet 2,300 miles away in the Pacific Northwest.
There was no such yelling on the Seattle broadcast, although credit to Rick Rizzs, who has been the voice of the Mariners for 37 seasons, for keeping it professional and giving Alvarez's moment a pretty straightforward call.
"Swing and a fly ball deep to right field, going and going and goodbye baseball," Rizzs said as the ball exited the field at 117 mph. Mariners' color commentator Mike Blowers summed up the emotion of the moment from the visitors' side, saying,"I can't think of a tougher way to lose the first game of this series. As you mentioned Rick, they had the lead in this throughout, but they just couldn't get it done here in the end against one of the best hitters in the American League. They're going to need a day off to get past this one right here.
