The Mariners' offense struggled to find its rhythm throughout most of the game, managing only five hits compared to ten by the White Sox. However, strategic hitting and taking advantage of opportunities allowed them to score four runs. Key moments included scoring in both the second and third innings, with two pivotal runs added in the seventh inning that ultimately decided the game's outcome.


The pitching staff for Seattle played a significant role in this victory. The bullpen was particularly effective, allowing no runs over 3.2 innings pitched and striking out four batters while maintaining an impressive ERA of 0.0 for this period. Trent Thornton earned his second win of the season thanks to his efforts from the bullpen.

On defense, Seattle showed resilience despite committing one error during play. Their fielding percentage stood at .974 with one double play turned over nine innings which helped limit scoring opportunities for Chicago.


For Chicago, despite out-hitting Seattle and putting up three early runs across the second and third innings thanks to two home runs, they couldn't maintain their momentum against Seattle's pitchers or capitalize on their two errors made during play.
