The Chicago White Sox and the Seattle Mariners faced off in a game that saw the Mariners improve their season record to 56-51, while the White Sox fell further behind with a record of 27-81. The final score stood at 6-3 in favor of the visiting team.
The game unfolded with the Mariners taking an early lead, scoring two runs in the first inning and adding another in the second. They continued their offensive push with two more runs in the third inning and one in the fourth, accumulating a total of six runs on eight hits. The White Sox managed to put up three runs on seven hits throughout the game but were unable to overcome their early deficit.
