Garrett Crochet (6-8) struggled in what might
be his final start for Chicago before Tuesday's trade deadline.
Rumored to be on the market, Crochet lasted only three innings
and threw 64 pitches, allowing six hits and five runs, three of
them earned. He walked one and struck out three.
Raleigh got to him right away, putting Seattle on top with a
two-run blast in the first inning. Raleigh's 22nd homer of the
year came off a fastball and traveled an estimated 379 feet into
the seats in left-center.
The Mariners made it 3-0 in the second when Leo Rivas notched
his first major league RBI on a fielder's choice grounder to
shortstop that scored Dylan Moore. Moore had led off the inning
with a ground-rule double and stole third while Mitch Haniger
drew a walk.
Seattle upped the advantage to 5-0 in the third as the White Sox
played defense like the 27-81 team that they are, committing a
pair of errors. Third baseman Paul DeJong booted a pair of
grounders, the latter by Haniger as Moore and Jorge Polanco
scored.
Tommy Pham got Chicago on the board in its half of the third by
punching a two-out RBI single to right that plated Korey Lee.
But the Mariners answered in the fourth via Raleigh's
run-scoring single to left-center field that scored Victor
Robles.
DeJong made up for his third-inning defensive woes in the
seventh by chasing Miller with his 18th homer, a two-run blast
to center that flew an estimated 430 feet and scored Andrew
Benintendi.
Robles, Raleigh and new acquisition Randy Arozarena each tallied
two of Seattle's eight hits.
The White Sox lost their 14th straight game for the second time
this year.
