In a tightly contested match that extended into extra innings, the Chicago White Sox emerged victorious over the Seattle Mariners with a final score of 3-2. This win adjusts the White Sox's season record to 18-52, while the Mariners now stand at 40-31. The game was marked by strategic plays and pivotal moments that kept fans on the edge of their seats until the very last pitch.

Notably, their performance in the third inning was crucial as they scored two runs off two hits, setting an early tone for their offensive efforts. The team showed resilience and determination by adding another run in the tenth inning, which ultimately secured their victory.
Pitching played a significant role in this contest for both teams. The White Sox's bullpen had an impressive outing with Michael Kopech earning his second win of the season after delivering three strikeouts and maintaining an earned run average (ERA) of 3.00 over three innings pitched. Overall, Chicago's pitchers combined for a remarkable ERA of 1.80 across ten innings while striking out nineteen batters and holding Mariners hitters to a mere .091 batting average.
On defense, Chicago showcased its skill by not committing any errors throughout all ten innings. Their fielders provided solid support to their pitchers by successfully handling all thirty-three total chances that came their way.
The Seattle Mariners struggled offensively against Chicago’s pitching staff but managed to push across two runs on just three hits over ten innings. Despite these efforts and maintaining error-free defense themselves, it wasn't enough to overcome Chicago’s late-game heroics.
