Despite home runs from Andrew Benintendi and Gavin Sheets, the Chicago White Sox couldn't pull off a win, losing 3-2 to the Seattle Mariners.
“We have six homers in the last two days, solo,” manager Pedro Grifol said. “I like the fact that we’re hitting homers, now we’ve got to find ways to put up crooked numbers. We do that, we’ll be in good shape with the pitching we’ve got.”
The Sox have lost five of six, but still remain 5 1/2 games out of first place in an American League Central, where the division-leading Minnesota Twins are at .500 . The second was another test as the Mariners loaded the bases with no outs. Kopech struck out the next two and got J.P. Crawford to groundout to Andrus.Hernández tied it in the bottom of the fifth on a well-executed hit-and-run. Julio Rodríguez attempted to steal third and Jake Burger went to cover the bag. Hernández hit the ball where Burger had just vacated for the game-tying double.
The Mariners had a chance for more in the inning, loading the bases with one out. Banks entered and struck out Cal Raleigh and got AJ Pollock to popout to catcher Seby Zavala. “A couple of pitches I want back, but learn from it and grow and build moving forward,” Banks said. “To be able to give a little bit of a break is big.”
