Josh Naylor broke out of a deep slump with two home runs in his first two at-bats, powering the Seattle Mariners to a 6-2 victory over the Houston Astros on Monday. The win completed a four-game sweep at T-Mobile Park. Naylor's blasts provided ample support for starter George Kirby.

SEATTLE -- Josh Naylor ended his power drought dramatically on Monday afternoon at T-Mobile Park.
