White Sox's Ninth-Inning Rally Falls Short Against Mariners at T-Mobile Park

The Chicago White Sox faced off against the Seattle Mariners in a night game at T-Mobile Park, with an attendance of 30,686 fans. The White Sox entered the game with a record of 42-71, while the Mariners stood at 61-53. Despite a late rally by the South Siders, they fell to the M’s with a final score of 8-3.

First Inning

The game began with promise for the White Sox as they managed to put up 1 run on the board in their first inning. However, this early lead was short-lived as their bats went silent for several innings thereafter. Andrew Benintendi and Curtis Mead struggled to make an impact offensively, both failing to secure hits during their plate appearances.

Fourth Inning

By the fourth inning, Seattle had taken control of the game. The Mariners scored two runs due to some defensive lapses from Chicago and capitalized on opportunities presented by Davis Martin's pitching struggles. Martin ended his outing with an ERA of 9.0 and allowed multiple hits that contributed significantly to Seattle's lead.

Sixth Inning

The sixth inning saw another surge from Seattle as they added three more runs to their tally. This offensive burst was facilitated by effective hitting from key players like Julio Rodríguez who consistently challenged Chicago’s pitchers throughout his at-bats.

Ninth Inning

In what could be described as a spirited attempt at redemption, Chicago mounted a comeback effort in the ninth inning scoring two runs thanks largely to Lenyn Sosa’s home run contribution which highlighted his day where he maintained an OPS of 1.25 across four at-bats.

Despite these efforts and some solid relief pitching performances from Mike Vasil and Tyler Gilbert who kept their ERAs clean during brief stints on mound duty; it wasn’t enough for South Siders whose overall batting average remained low throughout most parts (0.156).
