Seattle rookie Bryce Miller (5-3) allowed one
run on four hits over seven innings. He didn't walk a batter and
fanned six.
Lynn (4-8) gave up three runs on four hits and walked two in
seven-plus innings. The right-hander surpassed his previous best
of 12 strikeouts, set on three occasions, and matched the White
Sox mark set by Jack Harshman on July 25, 1954 against the
Boston Red Sox.
Lynn got the Mariners to swing and miss at 33 pitches, the most
in the major leagues this season. Tampa Bay's Shane McClanahan
and Atlanta's Spencer Strider both had 32 earlier this spring.
Lynn retired the first six batters he faced before Cal Raleigh
led off the bottom of the third inning by grounding a single
into right field. With two outs, J.P. Crawford drew a walk and
Rodriguez sliced a two-run double into the gap in right-center
field.
Lynn retired the next eight in a row before Rodriguez walked
with one out in the sixth. Rodriguez stole second but was
stranded there as Lynn struck out Ty France and Teoscar
Hernandez to end the inning.
Chicago lifted Lynn after Kolten Wong's bunt single leading off
the eighth. Reynaldo Lopez entered, got Crawford to ground into
a forceout and fanned Rodriguez before walking France and
Hernandez. Kelenic hit a liner into the gap in left-center that
rolled all the way to the wall to clear the bases.
Miller retired the first seven hitters before Jake Burger lined
a ball off the right-hander's left calf with one out in the
third inning for an infield single.
The White Sox got on the scoreboard in the sixth. Elvis Andrus
hit the first pitch of the inning into the left-field corner for
a double and Andrew Benintendi grounded the next pitch just out
of the reach of diving second baseman Wong for a run-scoring
single that made it 2-1 Seattle.
