    J.P. Crawford hits sacrifice fly in 10th inning to lift Mariners past Astros, 2-1

    J.P. Crawford drove in Jonatan Clase with a sacrifice fly in the bottom of the 10th inning to give the Seattle Mariners a 2-1 victory over the Houston Astros on Wednesday night. A game dominated by pitching ended with Crawford lifting a fly ball to deep right field that allowed Clase to jog home and give the Mariners wins in the first three games of the four-game series with their AL West rival. The winning run came after dominant starting pitching by Houston’s Justin Verlander and Seattle’s George Kirby.

    Morning Bid: Biding time before the data dump

With consumer prices in Germany rising more than forecast, that puts even more focus on the wider bloc's reading on Friday, which will come ahead of the European Central Bank's (ECB) expected rate cut next week.
