For perspective, the Kingdome was only open for 24 years, and shut down a little bit more than 2 months before the implosion.

M’s last home playoff win October 15th, 2001.

That’s the first home playoff win for the @Mariners in 24 YEARS.

Houston, you have a problem.

Seattle SWEEPS the Astros.

M’s up 3 with 6 to play.

In strong position to earn 2nd seed in AL and a first round bye.
