White Sox pinch hitter Luis Robert Jr. lined
the first pitch from Mariners reliever Mike Baumann in the ninth
inning just over the left field wall to tie the score at 1-1.
Mariners reliever Trent Thornton (3-1) pitched a scoreless 10th
for the victory. Chicago's Steven Wilson (1-3) took the loss.
The Mariners, who have won four in a row, will try for a sweep
of the four-game series Thursday. The White Sox have dropped
four straight and 18 of their past 20 games.
Right-handers Jonathan Cannon of Chicago and Bryce Miller of
Seattle dueled for seven innings, though neither was involved in
the decision.
Miller gave up no runs and just two hits -- a one-out infield
single by Zach DeLoach in the second inning that glanced off
Miller's leg and a leadoff double to left-center by Korey Lee in
the third.
Miller got out of the latter jam as Nicky Lopez popped out to
third on a bunt attempt, Andrew Vaughn flied out to left and
Gavin Sheets fouled out to third.
Miller walked two and struck out eight.
Mariners reliever Austin Voth struck out the side in the eighth.
Cannon, in search of his first major league victory, nearly
matched Miller. Facing the Mariners for the first time, he gave
up one run on four hits with one walk and seven strikeouts.
Cannon walked Mitch Garver with two outs in the second inning
and then allowed a double into the left field corner by Dominic
Canzone. Cannon then caught rookie Tyler Locklear looking at a
called third strike.
Seattle's Cal Raleigh singled in the fourth and Canzone blooped
a single into shallow left in the fifth, but those were the only
other hits Cannon gave up until Raley's solo shot to right on a
first-pitch changeup with one out in the seventh.
