Mariners' Late Rally Falls Short in 10-Inning Duel with White Sox

The Seattle Mariners, now standing at a 40-31 record, faced off against the Chicago White Sox, who improved to 18-52 after the game. In a contest that extended to 10 innings, the final score read 3-2 in favor of the visiting team.

The game was characterized by strong pitching performances on both sides. The Mariners' pitchers collectively held an ERA of 1.8 over the course of the game, allowing only eight hits and three runs while striking out four batters across ten innings. The bullpen was particularly effective, maintaining a perfect fielding percentage and contributing significantly to keeping the team within striking distance throughout.

Offensively, it was a challenging day for the Mariners as they managed only three hits against White Sox pitching. Despite this, two home runs were crucial in bringing their total run count to two for the day. These moments of power were highlights in an otherwise tough outing for Mariners hitters who struggled with an overall batting average of .091 and left twelve runners on base.

On defense, Seattle showcased their skill with no errors recorded and twelve assists contributed by fielders across all positions. This defensive solidity provided a foundation upon which their pitchers could work confidently throughout each inning.

For the Chicago White Sox, key innings included scoring two runs in the third and securing their winning run in extra innings (the tenth), demonstrating timely hitting that capitalized on opportunities when they arose.
